    Dual booting WinOs 11 and OpenSuse Leap 15

    I only use OpenSuse rarely tho.

    Need Win11 to run stuff like Ansys for college.

    Right now trying out Arch to get rid of my windows machine. It still has a lot of quirks but its fine so far. Most alarmingly i still have to find out how to make it use my grapics card properly.

    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.

    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.

    Windows. Albeit 11 sucks so much that I fully intend to give Linux a shot at my next hardware upgrade.

    Running windows mostly because I really don’t want to fight or research, etc… after doing just that 40hr+/WK. You folks have me convinced it won’t be the hell past experience made it to be.

    Laptop runs debian but I don’t use it much.

      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…

      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

      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.
