    I know this is going to start a fight, lol

    Simple enough, what would be your main day-to-day Operating System?


    Mine is currently Linux (endeavourOS) for all my day-to-day stuff.
    And I only switch to Windows for gaming.

      I am daily driving Linux for the normal day-to-day and for gaming.

      Thanks to valve and Proton there is not really a need to switch to windows anymore.

      The only exception: multiplayer games that use root-kit anti-cheat software like vanguard

          @padraig bsd. not the one that macos is based on, but the one macos is BASED ON is made by a pretty outstanding group of people. im no fan of immutable distributions, and i know how many hoops you have to jump through to change something. yes i know, its a feature.

          > I know this is going to start a fight, lol

          i think its BETTER to fight about this than not to, the problem is that at least 95% of the fights are going to be stupid and miss the point of doing it. it brings a whole new meaning to "choose your battles". people would be less tired of fighting if everyone did it only for the right reasons.

                OSX for about 17 years now. I don’t game much so that’s rarely an issue for me.

                After that it’s various flavours of linux installed on the servers I’m using.

                  @theaeon@infosec.exchange I would mostly be in the same boat. While I don’t play most of the games that have root-kit anti-cheat software, there are mods for certain games which are hard to get working on Linux (Namely ‘TruckersMP’ for Euro Truck Simulator 2)

                  But I am very grateful for the Valve’s work on Proton. It has been a game changer! (pun very much intended)
