    macOS, mostly.

    Been fiddling with Mint lately on my 2011 Macbook Pro, with a view to using it for self hosting a bunch of stuff, but haven’t really had the time / brane capacity to really figure it all out.

    Windows can lick my anus. I have Win11 in a VM on my work Mac, and it’s dreadful.

    On laptop Arch Linux with KDE because all is automatic, on gaming PC Arch Linux with i3wm because games and all runs so fast and so well.

      I do use a Mac and I hate it… It’s a birthday gift from my family, because owning a Mac makes the “man”…

      Uuhg, I always need to learn things twice… First how it works on Linux and than how to reproduce the same on Mac…

      There are to many shitty workarounds that do not behave the same way Linux does even though it’s UNIX based.

      • .plist files comes to mind
      • how to make a samba share mount on boot/access
      • Default’s to zsh
      • Shitty default terminal and dumb keyboard shortcuts…
      • Default applications are useless… (Thanks homebrew 👏)

      I fucking hate it… And after 4 years of intense use I still do not understand why people would willingly buy something like that closed crap ecosystem. Maybe just a hipster thing…

      Are there seriously no lemmy users on a Mac?

      Artist are probably still on Reddit to access the larger user base.

      I bought a old Imac at a thrift store and put XFCE on it. It was a great machine until the power supply finally gave out. I would do it again if I had the chance.

        When I was studying radio production at uni back in 2010, the Adobe Audition editing suite was rammed full of 2009 iMacs, all running WinXP. It was a bit of a headfuck for a moment, but iMac hardware was second to none, the uni must have got a decent discount from Apple to buy that many, and at the time Audition was Windows only.

        And to be fair, they made for excellent editing machines.

      My work computer is a MacBook since I need it for JAMF stuff but all my personal machines are Linux or dual-booted w/Windows

    GNU/Linux only, with KDE Plasma for desktop as possible. Using it on work laptop (Kubuntu), home laptop (openSUSE Tumbleweed), PC (openSUSE Tumbleweed, also used for gaming), Steam Deck (Arch-based SteamOS). I don’t use spyware/adware so Windows is out of question for me. Also it is not free as in freedom and opensource.

    Both. I have a desktop running Ubuntu (though I am strongly considering switching to debian) I use that for most computer related tasks and activities. I also have a gaming laptop running windows I dig out for some VR (it has a better gpu) and professional gigs like design or video editing.

    I would install linux on the laptop, but I can’t live without a few programs I have never successfully gotten running under linux (Resolve and the affinity suite). I could dual boot my desktop into rock linux (which is the only “official” resolve distro) and try to get affinity running under wine. I have been out of work for a few years though, so removing windows from the laptop isn’t a high priority.

    I use all 3, ordered by how often I use them: Linux > MacOS (hackintosh) > Windows
