Because I use free BSD

I do use Linux 🐧

Many people don't use it because it doesn't come store bought..

Because it's GNU/Linux 🧔‍♀️

I do for all my machines except the daily driver and at work.

I want to switch over my main system to Linux but I'm putting it off because I feel like I need a full day or two to just transfer simple things like browser info, save games, find utility apps, etc. Plus a bunch of games that I like playing still don't work on Linux. I also haven't looked into how to attempt to play "unlicensed" games on Linux yet.

I use linux btw.

I have a bit of everything at home. A windows PC, a mac laptop, a couple of linux boxes to run media servers etc

too hard to find pirated games, i'll switch when my mathusalem PC finally decides to break (and by then i hope to have some more coin, PCs really became expensive in the last six yeas!!!!)

I keep trying Linux for a week or so at a time, but every time I do, I just can't do what I want on it. It lacks software like Playnite - a FOSS game launcher that lets me manage my collection of games across different platforms. Discord on it doesn't support screen audio when screen sharing, and the app that enables it is finicky at best. I end up spending more time in my terminal than doing browsing, playing games, etc, like I'd like to be doing. I don't hate Linux. I love the idea of Linux, but in practice... I just have a really hard time enjoying my time on my computer with it.

I just came off running Nobara for 2 days then moving because of compatibility issues and its UI feeling slow, then I ran Mint for another 5 days. I hope one day Linux can be what I want from my PC.

I've installed Linux Mint (w/ Cinnamon desktop) recently in a workplace for teenage students school/office work on an old hardware. However, they did not accept it because it did not have a Microsoft Word but a LibreOffice Writer. Apparently, LibreOffice was too confusing for them so they just switched back to Win.

I do dual boot linux on a laptop i have that is 10 years old (linux mint). I would consider myself 'intermediate' when it comes to knowledge of software and stuff, and I mostly find Linux pretty frustrating to use beyond simply browsing the web, it feels like there is always a byzantine process to do stuff that Windows can do easily without hassle. Not that I really like Windows at all. Otherwise, I'd use it all the time.

I use it one everything except my word-provided laptop. I would use it there too, but our IT department is too Windows-brained to convince them otherwise.

Presently, I use Linux regularly (desktop, servers, etc.) I love it and prefer it, and all the games I play run on it. There are a few devices I don't use it on yet:

• Work laptop runs Windows :(
• Got a Macbook Pro for a good price. (Was MacOS curious for awhile, hadn't used it since MacOS 9)
• Mobile phones run Android and iOS. (Linux on mobile is not good yet)
• Windows dualboot just in case I want to use it for something

Linux guy here, there is a shrinking list of things that I can't do with Linux. That's when I spin up quick Windows 10 VM, do the task, and delete. Hasn't come up in over 15 months.

I daily drive linux on the laptop i use the most. All servers are linux. Other than that, my gaming rig is still on windows, work laptop is macOS. Im a tinkerer, so playing with different OSes is fun to me

Using Linux exclusively in private and almost exclusively for work for 24 years and counting ...

easier, less hassle 🤷‍♀️

i have, off and on over the past 23 years but i ultimately end up running windows primarily because of games or some other software or hardware incompatibility

I use linux at home (with bottles for games) and windows at work, because it's not my choice. Btw, at work I use windows only to run wsl2

I do use Arch Linux and Android Linux

I use Linux but my family computer is on windows because of office

Also, on my work computer is on windows because it is given by the company and I needed it to work immediately. I am allowed to change it tho. Do you know how well is Microsoft Teams working ? It is the only microsoft software that I need to work perfectely for my job. I would prefer the disponibility indicator to work for example

Very proprietary hardware I got for free. Too stingy to get new stuff yet. Okay I'm lying, I'm poor and scared to spend.

nearly 100% of my work is in Windows-native applications (Adobe suite, VizRT, Cinema4D) and that's not likely to change

I keep a windows computer exclusively for gaming. I know you can play games on gnu/linux but I have lots of peripherals, VR headset, wheel, pedals, joysticks, rudder, buttons boxes,... I don't have the courage to even try to see if everything will be compatible and correctly recognized in games. For everything else I stick to gnu/linux.

Work computers are windows, I would never demean myself like that by choice.

The only reasons to use windows (other than force or coercion) that I'm even aware of is adobe shit and multiplayer games with kernel level anticheats. Adobe could literally just get good, that is 100% their fault, though kernel level anticheat would never be popular on linux I'd bet.

I do. And windows. And android. And OSX
