Poll: What's your main operating system, HN?

8 points by 0-_-0 ↗ HN
I was wondering about the distribution of operating systems among HN users. Which operating system do you use mainly on your home machine (or a machine where you were free to choose the OS)?

Alongside Arch Linux (my desktop OS) I still have a soft spot for FreeBSD and will put it on a router or server.

Linux. Specifically Pop! OS on a System76 laptop, and usually Fedora or CentOS on VPS's.

Unless I need to use specific Windows-only apps, Linux. Long-time CentOS user transitioning to Rocky Linux. A couple of my VMs at work are Debian; they came from bitnami with particular apps installed (ProcessWire, MantisBT, etc.) My webserver at home is CentOS 8 for the time being. Of course, I also have about 7 classic AmigaOS machines :)

Linux for everything, Windows for the few games I play with friends who only use Windows.

Most of my gear runs Slackware, but I've got a 2003 iMac running OpenBSD. It sits in the kitchen and my wife uses it to look up recipes; she's got a shitload of them as plaintext files in her home directory.

Proper Linux everywhere it can be. VyOS on the router, for now.

Exclusively FreeBSD at home, for desktop and servers (with lots of jails for all kind of services and experiments) and in the near future also for the router/firewall. At work often Linux, accessed through a Windows desktop.

Since 16 years FreeBSD on home servers and desktop/laptops.

Used LibreELEC (Linux) for some time on Odroid C2.
