    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.

    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.

    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.

        Most of the times it is not that it isn’t stable, is more that you’re trying to do thinks the Windows way but I get that learning the Linux way can be hard since most of the times it’s not obvious or intuitive.

          Sorry, but no. Putting that on the users is a no-go.

          I agree that Linux is generally stable - when it works (i.e. hardware well supported and the pains of installing and initial setup is gone). But the experience to get to that point is still far from polished, and that don’t usually has anything to do with user expectations on how the OS should work.

          I’ve been using Linux on the desktop on and off since 1998 aproximately - way before it was “cool” - and that has always been the case - it was always “almost there, but not quite”. That’s not a knock on developers either (I’m a developer myself, just not on Linux) - Linux for server stuff is excellent and I’ve always used it for that, but user experience for desktop stuff always had wrinkles, and I understand how many user experience problems can be hard to solve for developers (who more often than not are volunteers) for many reasons, just let’s not put that on the users: things are the way they are for reasons that, at heart, often go beyond users or developers - market, business politics, etc.

    Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.
