For desktop computers, either Windows or Linux. Windows on my main computer since I rely on so much Windows-only software (MS Office, Many Games) despite the BS that Microsoft does to windows in new versions, but Linux has gotten way better lately, especially as it picks up new users as Windows declines. MacOS to me the worst of both worlds when it comes to lack of software support and corporate BS
For Mobile, definitely Android. Android is what I wish Linux was for Desktop computers; Loads of software you can get from many places, open source, and not locked down. It’s mainly the way it is because for Mobile OS’s, Microsoft was spending too much resources shooting itself in the foot with the Zune than to make the necessary improvements to make Windows Mobile to be competitive, and by the time they realized their mistake it was too late. iOS is such a pain in the ass for me to use due to how locked down it is, and while it has more software support than MacOS, its locked down nature and being mostly restricted to getting software from Apple means that several apps that I rely on (including a few apps not on the Google Play store) will never be available for iOS. I also like to see where every single file on my phone actually is
Desktop = Fedora
Home server = AlmaLinux
Mobile = GrapheneOS
Router = OpenWrt
Linux. I use Pop on my desktop and Arch on my laptop.
BTW, Linux+Proton is great for playing Windows-only games. The time for needing Windows for gaming is mostly past, tbh. You may often find better performance on Linux for many games, too.
Arch.
you rebel/rapscallion
It’s simpler than that. Arch is dead simple. Everything is documented. If you want to know how to do anything, they tell you how. Where’s the config file? Right here, per the wiki.
People pump it up to be this impossible thing but it really is just the most blunt, to the point Linux distro and that’s what I enjoy about it. You never have to look two places for anything.
Mint.
General pickyness: Linux is a kernel, not an operating system. For example, Android and Mint are both operating systems that use Linux, but the way you interact with Android is dramatically different than the way you interact with Mint.
I run windows enterprise which is a little better than professional and home.
But anything that’s headless I run a mix of Debian, Proxmox, and Ubuntu server.
Trying to get into PopOS! But I had some discord growing pains and moved back to windows.
