I want to like macOS but Apple, IMO, is doing scummier and scummier things with it. For instance, I haven’t signed in to iCloud. Once a day it seems, I’ll get a little notice telling me that not all functionality will work until I’ve signed in. Ok… So I click the little ‘X’ on the notification. It opens the settings to the iCloud setup screen. That’s not what ‘X’ is supposed to do!

Arch. I got it working 3 years ago, it’s still working, stable. On my main laptop, though, I’m running windows, and planning to install Fedora when I get the chance.

My work machine is macOS as the company won’t let us use Linux. My home machine is Arch Linux (obligatory “BTW”) which I migrated to after Ubuntu dropped Unity and started forcing Snaps on everyone.

However, a nice shameless plug for my Terminal file manager: DF-SHOW which is designed to work on all Unix like systems.

I’ve been using Fedora for a while now. I love it

It used to be MacOS, but I jumped ship as soon as iOS stuff started creeping in years ago. Because I had already jumped ship from iPhones for the exact same stuff. Arch is my *nix of choice these days, or Linux Mint if I’m recommending it to someone else who doesn’t want to learn Arch.

But with that said, my daily driver is a Windows machine these days. I’m getting lazy as I get older, so (relatively) effortless compatibility is king.

I use NixOS on my pc, laptop, and server, although I dual-boot windows on my pc to play some games.

My phone is android, I have a pinephone but I can’t get discord and other things to work well on it so it can’t be my daily driver right now. (I know Matrix chat is better than discord, I even host my own instance, but everyone in my school uses discord so there’s no way to switch).

Linux Mint Xfce here - just right for me - not too splashy, not too hard core :-)

Kubuntu. I like KDE and been using Ubuntu-like OSs since 2007.

Arch because my installs keep working, and I’m really used to it at this point. In the future I’d be interested in trying something like NixOS/Guix, Silverblue, or Qubes.

The mobile landscape is just a privacy clusterfuck. I flip flop back and forth between Android and iOS a lot. Maybe one day I’ll take the Graphene plunge, not sure.

Run Arch on my main PC. Proxmox on my home server with Ubuntu server as VM and random containers.

Arch Linux. It’s too convenient. The AUR hosts a massive amount of packages, wiki is super detailed and covers solutions for all sorts of edge cases. Needs a bit of tinkering to get started but once things are set up it’s very stable, and still gives you a lot of freedom to tinker with your system however you want. The only other option I’ve considered is NixOS which has some pretty interesting features

Arch Linux. Once you get past the intimidating reputation it’s really nice, and the documentation is best in class.

Linux Mint has always been my recommended for beginners to Linux and if I just want something stable and quick to set up.

Arch (usually EndeavourOS) when I want to do fun stuff.

Fedora.

I’ve also been getting more familiar with CoreOS / SilverBlue recently.

My daily driver is macOS on my personal Mac mini and the MacBook provided by my work. I also run Opensuse tumbleweed on an older dell Inspiron.

My server rack consists of a dell r730 running VMware and most of the vms are various versions of Ubuntu.

I’ve also ran arch and mandrake in the past and cut my teeth on Slackware back in 97 or so. It’s been a journey.
