do you use linux or windows? i use ubuntu!
I’d use linux in a heartbeat if it was supported by the tools I use for work.
I like that you’re asking this on Lemmy, home of Linux lovers.
Permanently Linux since 2001. Debian is life.
Ay, recently jumped on debian!
Running debian on a vm, till I get familiar enough to fully replace my win10 os (probably in 9months max).😄
Same, since debian potato, and forced to use windows in my work.
Both. I’d prefer Linux because it respects me as a user, but unfortunately too much stuff constantly breaks to fully convert. The moment I can play Assetto Corsa with all my mods using my wheel in VR I’ll consider fully switching. Many other games already work though, so I’m slowly converting to using Linux as my default and Windows as the exception instead of the other way around.
(I use Arch btw)
Which wheel do you use?
Forgot the number, but one of the most common Logitech ones. Right now I’m not even getting past the first hurdle though, which is getting Assetto Corsa with Content Manager and mods to start. I spent a few hours on it and then decided that I had better things to do with my time
The common Logitech steering wheels should work if you have the steam-devices package installed on your system. Alternatively you can get the necessary udev rules from the oversteer repo: https://github.com/berarma/oversteer/tree/master/data/udev
(oversteer is also pretty handy)
I’m on holiday right now but I can get back to you on how to get Assetto Corsa with Content Manager to work.
Linux all the way, for loads of practical and ethical reasons
I switched to using Manjaro full time recently
Manjaro
I highly recommend avoiding manjaro like the plague, their team is incredibly incompetent (see: https://manjarno.pages.dev/ ), I say this as someone who has given people manjaro for years and regretted it, I was also their it person, manjaro regularly broke every few months and gave people a very bad taste of linux
for example, why are kernels given version numbers in packages? This caused 3 separate peoples computers to break multiple times. Everything good about manjaro comes from arch, everything bad about manjaro comes from the manjaro team.
Y’know how it’s not rolling release because they delay packages by 2 weeks? They actually do no testing in this time. How do I know this? They pushed an update that caused steam to uninstall your desktop environment. Famously covered by linus tech tips… this is something that should have easily been caught, and yet the two week window did absolutely nothing.
the truth is for manjaro there is no real usecase, there’s no set of desires that align with manjaro being the best choice for you. I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.
But if what you’re looking for is an easy pre-setup arch, use endeavoros
If you want something simple and up to date, use fedora kinoite
If you’re a power user and want to configure every little thing about their system, use arch or nixos
If you don’t care at all about updates and want the most rock solid system possible, debian.
Oof, that sounds really bad… I haven’t had any issues with it so far in the ~3 years I’ve been using it (I had it on my old T430s for the longest time); don’t even know how I first found out about it, I think it got a lot of coverage when it first came out.
I’m not trying to discredit your comment, far from it, neither am I really recommending Manjaro; I know that there are better alternatives but I’m a lazy bum, so I just installed the first distro that came to mind (kinda embarrassing considering how meticulously I planed every other aspect of my switch-over to Linux). Thanks for your comment, though.
Do you have any tips for me as far as staying on Manjaro is concerned?
Currently Debian.
GNU/Linux for life. Winbooze only at work, sadly.
i switched to linux exclusively i think in 2011. currently using mx linux on my desktop.
Linux, but I keep windows on the other drive just in case I need a windows only app. Rarely happens except for VR.
Windows at home because use computer only for gaming.
Windows at work because required.
Like Linux and used it for years but don’t have a usecase currently that justify it.
Linux.
Linux
I distro hop often but im currently using debian.
Built a new computer last year and didn’t want anything to do with win11, so I switched to Linux Mint. I really like it, and there’s a lot of help all around online. Thankfully because of Proton, I haven’t had any trouble playing any game yet. It’s been great!
I do miss ClipStudio for painting and OneNote for ttrpg notes, but I’ve been making due with Krita and Notion.
Windows. /s
The diagram of Linux fans and Lemmy users is pretty much a single circle.
