Out of the following operating systems, which one do you use the most, not at work, but in your free personal time?

Please consider boosting for a larger sample size. Thank you.

@rperezrosario
I would have to look carefully to see if I use GNU/Linux (my PC) or Android/Linux (my phone) more. Probably my phone.

@rperezrosario

Love to see that Linux is leading....๐Ÿ˜€

@rperezrosario Currently, my daily driver is a Mac, but I spend a disproportionate amount of time in the macOS terminal, and since sometime in the early 00s I've had 2 or 3 Linux-dual-boot or all-Linux systems that I was happy with at the time. I'd happily go back to something similar in the future if I felt I needed to.

I use a Windows box at work, but I do not plan to use Windows by choice anywhere else for the foreseeable future.

If there was more game support on Linux I'd run Linux full time but for my use case, it's pointless.

@matty@nicecrew.digital 90 percent of all games run and most if not all future games run too some even better than on windows.

Its up to the shitty devs to tick a box in their AC to make the 9 percent work then 1 percent incompatible

I started using Linux when we only had quake and DDR and it has come so far I can play almost any game I want without issue the only games that can't are the ones that have kernel level anticheat but even then there are plenty of anti cheat games that work fine on Linux I would wait until the gabecube gets released because that will send an important signal to developers that Linux is becoming a player in the gaming space.
They don't have to make nateed builds for Linux we don't need that Thanks to wine and Proton we need them to Tick a Box

I've not had luck getting Wine to work with older games, but most of them are made for Windows specifically. I've noticed Proton's database looking better, but it's still not quite there enough for me to make a full commitment. I prefer Linux to Windows but not enough to sacrifice the shit that I use Windows for to find alternatives.

@matty@nicecrew.digital completely understandable which is exactly why I recommend in your case that you wait until the developers fix their shit.

I decided I got so fed up with Windows that those games aren't worth it for me anymore we all reached that point sooner or later and it makes the transition so much more rewarding

Can confirm, the gaslighting from Linux users over compatibility with classic games and others is ridiculous. I also like being able to pirate games properly even the ones that I own so I can play offline. Doing anything on Linux is completely retarded and I am not going back to what are essentially MS-DOS prompts in order to get anything working.

Also open source has a furry problem, I'm not making that up.

@lethn@nicecrew.digital Linux is not Made for everyone some People better Off on Windows, and thats not a positive thing these days โ€‹kekw_hyperโ€‹

Debian at home and at work. I reluctantly use android as the best of a bad situation.

@rperezrosario up until last week? Microsoft Windows. Now? Kubuntu !!

I ripped the band-aid off and made the switch :)

@rperezrosario android by a lot, windows occasionally, but I feel I'm late to something not using linux

@rperezrosario NetBSD on the desktop, FreeBSD on the laptop (only for the *very* recent 802.11ac Wi-Fi driver support).

@rperezrosario
I expect "GNU Linux or UNIX" to be the most-voted answer
๐Ÿ˜

(Besides: if you wouldn't use Mastodon, you'd be able to offer a lot more poll options. Mastodon is quite restricted in that regard, beside others.)

@rperezrosario What do you think the result of this poll will indicate?

@fasnix @rperezrosario what would you expect for a fifth option? DOS? Or splitting OSX/iOS and Linux/BSD/Android?

@dat
Yes, I'd add BSD, Android, MacOS, iOS.

@rperezrosario

@rperezrosario - I can imagine that a poll on causes a significant . I didn't expect the bias to be that strong, however.

@rperezrosario I hope not too pedantic, but are you including phones?
...mostly driod linux kernel, some people with iphone kernel.

If you search the whole of london, there may be one exec using a windows phone.

@channelOwen @rperezrosario What about us Linux Phone weirdos? I heard there's dozens of us!

@rperezrosario This is a good data point how particular special and small this actually is.

doesn't play any major role when you look at common . However, here, it's the OS of choice for the majority of this tiny minority. ๐Ÿค“

I like it here, btw.

@rperezrosario funny how almost no one use Windows. Looks like a good future for Linux blobfoxfloofhappy

@rperezrosario

If we're not considering Android a flavor of Linux, it's probably Android TBH
