Win 10 but I'm craving to install mint/endeavour.

MacOS. Looks like there's tens of us on Lemmy. Tens!
Heavy gamer here. My main Distro is EndeavourOS, came from Linux Mint months ago. My homelab runs on Ubuntu Server.

Endeavour OS
Linux Mint. When it first came out, it was the first distro where sound and wifi worked out of the box on fresh installations by shipping with restricted drivers. It made installations so easy that I just stopped trying other distros.
I use arch btw. I am waiting for vanilla os v2 for my laptop though, I think it would be great for a device which I want to "just work". Rn it has Ubuntu with some dell repos which have not been updated since Ubuntu 20.
Fedora Silverblue. But since Fedora aims to include telemetry (although in a reasonable way) by version 40, I'll switch soon to something else. I feel it might be time to give BSD an honest attempt.
Linux openSUSE
Linux Mint. Never needed anything else, and hopefully it'll stay this way..
My main gaming PC is Windows 10. Other devices have varying flavors of Ubuntu Linux.
I've been using windows for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch to another OS, Linux or otherwise.
Kubuntu FTW
On my main computer I use Arch. My laptop is a MacBook, so that one runs macOS.
Mxlinux
I have dual boot Manjaro/Windows, but honestly I haven't used the windows partition in two years except for the very occasional moment I need to check if a document format is alright to send to someone, or anyone else not familiar with Linux needs to do something.
Nobara linux on my media center/gaming PC. The same on my laptop currently, but I'm a habitual distro-hopper, so I may be on NixOS or Vanilla or maybe Void next week. Whichever I happen to be on, there's a 90% chance I'll be using the Gnome DE.
Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.
Windows 10. No idea why anyone is using Win11.
I've tried Linux every few years for the last few decades and it's never been at a point where I can switch. I am in the process of trying again, however.
Started today trying to dual boot it on a Windows laptop that has a boot SSD and data HDD. Tried resizing the HDD and installing Nobara and can't get the machine to boot into Grub (the suggested fix on their site didn't work, possibly because of the two physical drives). Searching for a solution was fruitless and I'm honestly over it already. I want an OS, not a hobby.
The very definition of insanity right here. There is ALWAYS something that doesn't work and I'm not a fucking idiot but I'm not a developer either. Linux fans act like people on Windows have no excuse not to switch but I've been trying since the 90s and Linux just does everything it can to frustrate me. God knows how someone who's not tech savvy is supposed to figure anything out. /rant
Windows 10 Home
Windows 11
Linux. Pop!_OS
Windows 11
Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)
Manjaro
I use Garuda Gnome Linux. It's setup nearly how I would set up an arch install from scratch, just working out of the box. I've done a lot of distro hopping in the past year, but I keep going back to Garuda.
Slackware Linux
Windows 10 (Home) until end of support, but I'll have to look into getting into Linux, as, among other things, Windows 11 having an in-built AI cemented to me that I will never ever be using it.
Windows 11 running on my laptop
Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.
I've been using Windows 11 and Ubuntu with dual boot on my laptop, but a few days ago I tried Linux Mint, and it's awesome. Now I plan to switch from Ubuntu to Linux Mint.
mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving
Windows 11 for gaming PC, Windows 10 for work laptop, Mac OS for personal laptop and Fedora for my old laptop. Also using both Ubuntu and Rocky Linux for servers. Steam Deck is still on Steam OS, Pi's use Raspberry Pi OS (aka raspbian). I don't really have a 'main' computer as it mostly depends where I am and what I'm doing.
I'm pretty comfortable with any OS at this point, even on mobile devices (both Android and iOS/iPad OS). I'm not a big fan of Windows but it pays the bills working in IT. I was in the process of migrating servers away from Ubuntu and onto Rocky (rip CentOS) although with the recent changes in Red Hat Land... We'll see how the rest of the migration progresses.
EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop. It's been working great for years
Windows 11 for my gaming PC. Debian running KDE Plasma for my work PC. Debian without a DE for my various home lab PCs.
Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.
Debian & Gentoo for personal
Ubuntu & Mint for work
I use arch on my laptops, debian on my servers, and I recommend fedora to others. I'm also nix/guix curious.
NixOS. I distrohopped for years but now I've landed and it has been several years since I felt any urge to explore alternatives (maybe with the exception of Guix, which is basically the same idea but everything is in Guile Scheme (Lisp)).
I'm never going back to a mutable OS if I can help it.
