What Operating System do you use?

I use Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (Linux)

I did install arch linux one time

I use Arch Linux and it's been my primary OS for 3 years now.

I still have Windows 10 on one machine, but the bastards are determined to ensure I will never touch Windows 11.

Windows 11 x64. It runs OK with no issues so far. I'm well aware of the horror stories regarding this OS, but when I bought my laptop it came with it, I've been using it ever since.

Linux Mint.

I'm thinking of switching over to EndeavourOS though. I've never used Arch Linux and it seems interesting. I've heard that EndeavourOS is a solid choice for it.

The only real difference between Endeavor and Arch is the installer.. but arch is pretty easy to install with the "archinstall script" which you can type into the command when the Arch install media is loaded, set your options from a menu the same as you would any other installer, and install.

With Arch though (Endeavor included) you're more prone to an update breaking something, rarely anything major, maybe an app or two. The tradeoff is that updates come so fast it'll be fixed much sooner. But, if you cannot risk that sort of thing, then a point release distro like something Ubuntu or Fedora based might be better.

ubuntu? is that african for windows?

[DoomsDay]

went back to win10 after trying win 11,I dont know what went wrong, CPU z score on 11 is smaller than its on 10,by 200 multi core,

sometimes more than 200.maybe I tinkered around it a bit much.

Windows 11 24H2. Like many people who do work on their computers, I got couple thousand worth of proprietary software that only run under Windows. Getting those things to run on Linux is a joke.

That said I have Linux installations on machines where all of this proprietary stuff isn't needed (servers).

Regarding Arch, I have heard people switching from Windows to Arch-based distributions because they think Microsoft doesn't test their updates enough. I'm not sure if these people are trolling (sounds like it fr) or what's the deal. There's a lot of baiting and trolling among communities that get religious over operating systems. Beware.
