I use Windows 3.1

Because of the limitations, I hired someone to create a program that yells letters and characters individually one by one on a text based browser.
It may sound tedious but I refuse to upgrade explanation mark explanation mark explanation mark

Windows 11

I'm one of the few people who genuinely thinks it's a good OS despite MS' shenanigans

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just get bothered that even on very modern tech my CPU is under load even when idle in Win11 such that the fan is spooling up. I'm convinced they're sneaking distributed AI compute into personal PCs. Doesn't happen on my Linux install.

itt: the question linux users love

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I wrote my own OS leveraging a custom punch-card computer built from redstone in Minecraft.

Debian everywhere. On my desktop and my servers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Mint for my PC and Windows reluctantly for my work PC.

Windows 11. And I hate it.

Yes, I did try Linux. I had a great time. But unfortunately my Windows installation always breaks whenever I dual boot it with Linux.

The holy OS...TempleOS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Arch-KDE Plasma and Win11(personal and work respectively) on my desktop. Win10/manjaro on laptop.

I don't suggest arch as a first forray into Linux, requires basic CLI experience for setup and maintenance.

I taste the rainbow myself. Here are my PCs and their OS's:

  • HP Thin Client t520: Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC IOT with Remote Desktop to my university's AVD instances. May downgrade to 10 IoT due to poor performance
  • Gaming PC: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC IOT 21H2
  • ThinkPad T480: Windows 10 Pro, may replace with IoT in the future
  • Latitude E6420: Linux Mint Debian Edition 6
  • iMac 21.5" 2015: Dual boot macOS Ventura and Windows 11

My study is extremely Windows focused (expects use of Microsoft Project, everything submitted in .docx, etc.) and while it isn't impossible to do it without Windows, I also don't want to impede academic progress with macOS or Linux.

However, I have my Latitude which I've been using the most recently for all other study not requiring Windows, and my iMac I got from ewaste for doing anything needing macOS like jail breaking and syncing music to my iPhone 4s
