    I use NixOS on my pc, laptop, and server, although I dual-boot windows on my pc to play some games.

    My phone is android, I have a pinephone but I can’t get discord and other things to work well on it so it can’t be my daily driver right now. (I know Matrix chat is better than discord, I even host my own instance, but everyone in my school uses discord so there’s no way to switch).

      How easy is it to setup nowadays? I tried it 3-4 years ago and it was a pain to set almost anything up, even after learning the NixOS way.

    I want to like macOS but Apple, IMO, is doing scummier and scummier things with it. For instance, I haven’t signed in to iCloud. Once a day it seems, I’ll get a little notice telling me that not all functionality will work until I’ve signed in. Ok… So I click the little ‘X’ on the notification. It opens the settings to the iCloud setup screen. That’s not what ‘X’ is supposed to do!

    My progression was: Mandrake, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, NixOS. At work I use Nix flakes on Debian machines, so one month back I figured out I could install NixOS at home to get familiar with Nix. NixOS is really something different and it brings me back to the old times when Linux was new for me. It’s again an adventure!

    I use whatever is the best fit for the work I need to do. I mainly use macOS, and try to get away with using VM’s with macOS as my host system whenever possible.

    I used to be on the Arch bandwagon but after migrating to a MacBook for my daily driver computer it’s mostly just Debian-based distros when the need arises, Kali for work and headless Debian for homelab stuff. I rarely boot my Windows gaming PC anymore. I do have some Windows VM’s for testing exploits and payloads. And emulated Windows 95-98 machines for that OG Oregon Trail fix.

    Arch. I got it working 3 years ago, it’s still working, stable. On my main laptop, though, I’m running windows, and planning to install Fedora when I get the chance.

    My first foray was with Ubuntu and Mint, and I found the whole experience far too on-rails for me. A few years later, I made the permanent move from Windows to Arch, largely because of how good their documentation on GPU passthrough via OVMF/VFIO was. It was also an excellent opportunity to be forced to learn how my computer works.

    Ironically, I almost never open virtual machines for gaming, I have come across very very little that cannot be handled by wine, ge-wine, or proton.

    Void Linux is home. Plus, as soon as word got out that Windows 11 had those insane system requirements and the TPM stuff I decided I would abandon Winblows for good once 10 reaches end of life.

    My work machine is macOS as the company won’t let us use Linux. My home machine is Arch Linux (obligatory “BTW”) which I migrated to after Ubuntu dropped Unity and started forcing Snaps on everyone.

    However, a nice shameless plug for my Terminal file manager: DF-SHOW which is designed to work on all Unix like systems.
