Ask HN: What operating system do you use?

CentOS 6.10, Win7, Win10, AmigaOS 3.1, MorphOS 3.x, RPi..

Ubuntu for desktop Mac for laptop

Lubuntu. I like the balance it strikes between light-weightness and completeness.

Debian testing. An amazing compromise between stability and recency.

Mac OS

Gentoo with KDE Plasma. I was intrigued by the idea of a source-based distro and installed it out of curiosity. KDE turns out to be a great desktop and the distro ships with an amazing package manager.

Mint 19.1 Mate

For what?

For my workstations it’s macOS (Mojave), for servers it’s Debian stable if I get the choice, some clients have existing Ubuntu servers.

KDE plasma. Before that I used to work on Xubuntu. I still have Xubuntu installed on one laptop though KDE takes majority of my usage these days.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on servers.

MacBook Pro 15 for work with a lightweight container for dev.

Ubuntu LXDE desktop at home and a Surface Go w/Windows+WSL on the road.

Kubuntu 18 for desktop, FreeBSD for servers. Laptops are various versious of xubuntu.
