    Peppermint OS , perfect for just working , and customise. But with the rise of asahi Linux my next computer will be a Mac. I also have a Windows AME install I’m not using just in case I need it. For phones , graphene OS . The best there is.

    Windows 11. Don’t @ me, I don’t have the mental or physical energy to deal with Linux. I’ve never had a Linux install that’s had close to everything working, there’s always a device (network, sound, graphics, usb toaster) that doesn’t work and attempts to follow people’s instructions to fix it either make it worse or just do nothing.

    Maybe I’m just useless or unlucky, but I’m due to die in a few decades and I don’t have time to deal with that nonsense when Windows does everything I want it to.

      I totally get that Linux is excellent, but the Linux community can be exhausting sometimes.

      “It’s so easy to use these days!” is rapidly followed by “You just need to grep the package and recompile it for your kernel.”

      theres wayyy more windows 11 users than linux users but this is the one place the “enlightened pc users” cam flex their ability to navigate a command prompt

      windows runs fine, plays every game, software is generally made for it, people who dont like it have a very niche issue with it which is fine

      but its a good OS if you just want to use your computer like a normal human

      I heard a saying once, “Linux is for people who don’t value their time”

      Thought it was pretty funny

    Fedora. I have yet to stumble upon stuff that doesn’t run. I have no problems working nor gaming so no need (or wish) for Windows.

      +1 for Fedora. Red Hat’s new policy to restrict open source code though, IDK.

    Windows 10. I’m comfortable with it. I’m not sure what I’ll do when the times comes to move to 11 because I don’t like what I see going on over there. My main excuse was always comfort and gaming but the Steam Deck is showing me that gaming isn’t as much of a barrier as it used to be.
