What operating systems are people using here? I have to use Windows 10 at work, but at home I've been rocking Fedora.

Linux at work because of its file system, Win10 at home for entertainment purposes and UI efficientcy.

I used to use MacOS at work, but now that I'm stuck at home I've been enjoying my Win10 alienware A LOT

Ubuntu! 20.04 here because I prefer LTS as it lets me upgrade less often. One thing I did when I upgraded from 18.04 was a full wipe and reinstall, then scripted the installation of everything, so now I have a bash script that can take a fresh debian install and make it feel like home. Including SDKs, Wallpaper, Apache etc

Elementary OS, with i3wm.

Nice! Do you work as a web dev? I'm stuck with Windows, we're a .Net Framework shop.

I was working as a computational neuroscientist back then, primarily using Python and MATLAB. However, in the 2 years and 5 weeks since I last replied, things have changed quite a bit! I'm now working as a machine learning research engineer, and I'm forced to use macOS at work now. (At least it's Unix!) We're a Python shop, although I end up writing quite a bit of Java and even a little JavaScript sometimes. On the bright side, my personal Arch Linux machines are still going strong, and I've even added a few more to the herd!

debian 10.4 because it's linux but very simple. i grew up on 98se and xp but i think win10 soured NT for me. i used 7 for a while earlier this year for a couple programs but now i'm on debian for good because windows is terribly unproductive for my uses - no good terminal (powershell sux), necessary guis, etc.

Arch Linux at home and MacOS at work. To be honest, I have never been able to be productive on Windows.

Identical setup for me. I had an internship a few years ago where I had to use Windows and the lack of productivity enabling features was very frustrating. MacOS isn't a ton better in this regard, though.. why isn't "always on top" a feature on every platform?

Windows now has something called PowerToys. Has things like a keyboard manager and a window manager. Might interest you guys. I think you have to download it from GitHub. Don't think it's on the Windows store.

Direct link to the MSI: github.com/microso.... I tried FancyZones as a last-ditch effort to come to terms with Windows 10 before giving up. It feels very restrictive compared to the fluidity of tiling WMs. Though maybe they've improved it, at the time it was very new.

I am using Manjaro on my home desktop, Ubuntu 18.04 on my work desktop (which I haven't seen in a while) and elementaryOS on my laptop (which is 11 years old and rarely ever used). I also have Windows 10 as a dual boot option on my home machine for Lightroom+Photoshop and gaming. I was on Windows 7 as my main OS until about half a year ago and I am very happy about the switch to Linux.

I'm on Win 10, after many years (15+) on Fedora and other *nix OSes. I tried Win 10 for nostalgia (my early teens on Windows) and forgot to uninstall. To be honest, 99% of everything is a browser now... so makes little difference for me!
