I wrote my own OS leveraging a custom punch-card computer built from redstone in Minecraft.
yoo fire 🔥
Win7 with microcode patches from 0patch.
dont know that existed the patching microcode
Yeah neither did I till I signed up for their service.
Full disclosure: I have no compensation relationship with 0patch, I’ve just been a full retail customer for years and highly recommend them to anyone who doesn’t want to move away from win10 when it hits EoL.

Ngl i love linux am gonna stay on it
Pop!_os
Windows 11. And I hate it.
Yes, I did try Linux. I had a great time. But unfortunately my Windows installation always breaks whenever I dual boot it with Linux.
Did you try installing linux on a partition
Yes, I partitioned my drive and installed Linux on that (I only have one SSD installed, it’s a laptop)
Maybe once I get my desktop fixed I’ll try it again. That one isn’t “officially” compatible with Windows 11.
oh i think its better to install on another ssd
Yeah, that’s what I’ve been told.
I’ll check if my lappy has another SSD slot, because if not, then… dual booting with a broken Windows installation is my only option.
I had the same experience using a single hard drive. Two, ime, works flawlessly. Though i haven’t added windows boot to grub so i need to use BIOS to load windows, which is easy enough i haven’t bothered with grub. Your experience may vary based on BIOS.
That might explain why I had problems.
some linux users try passing their gpu through a windows vm and make the vm look like a real pc
If I didn’t straight up delete my Windows installation (which contains important files), I would have to use MORE space just to run Windows on a VM in the Linux environment.
If only I can just run the actual contents of my Windows partition on a VM, that’d be great.
alr
Fedora / Windows 11
I wonder how many updates I’m behind on w11, haven’t been there in a spell
I dual boot arch and win11 (for stuff that isn’t compatible yet).
same
Do you have a problem with win using localtime and always being an hour behind? Frustrates the hell out of me.
I think i solved the problem a while ago
Nice, do you have an idea as to how you got around the issue?
i think it fixed its self or i ran some commands on windows
I used to use endevour os and loved every bit of it. r8 now am on Nixos trying some stuff out and honestly i miss the shere amount of documentation and support that was there for arch but i have heard that nix is very rewarding once i understand the workings soo… Nixos
i think what throws me away from nixos is the immutable file system i had issues on fedora kinoite
I recently switched from Windows 10 to Nobara Linux and it’s amazing, right now I’m playing gta 4 which only required some tinkering to work without issues. Highly recommended
Ngl i kinda dont like about nobara is secure boot comptablity Yeah ik most distros dont support it
Pop_OS for the main PC, Ubuntu for the laptop and Debian for all the servers (lots of pis). There are 2 PCs left that run windows 10, one is the media rig and the other was an AMD APU that lived in a briefcase as part of a “totally not laptop” thing I built. Its a slow process to fully migrate away from windows, but so far im managing.
“Totally not a laptop” haha, nice. You should make a post about it somewhere - with pics.
Apologies, I took it apart a few weeks ago as its bits were needed elsewhere, but I can paint a picture. You know those fancy Pelican cases, this was a DIY version of that. It was a cheap silver plastic briefcase with nerdy Linux themed stickers on the back (If it didnt have those on it would look like a nuclear football and freak someone out #ominousbriefcase) I 3D printed some standoffs and mounts for the components, fitted a 22-inch Dell monitor into the lid, used velcro to attach the printed parts and drilled a 2-inch hole in the left side which had a PVC pipe/cap end jammed in the socket to allow a surge supressor to hang out of the case.
The intent was to use it as a recording rig for my local hobby shop so I could record table top games (40K, Warmachine, Battletech, etc.) using OBS to manage cameras. It could handle 4 webcams (2 tripods, 1 ceiling mount, 1 dice cam) and a pair of lav mics. I haden’t used it in about a year, but there were plans to upgrade it as there is need for it again. Its all functionally being replaced by an ATEM mini-Pro and a smaller actual laptop. Unfortunatly I have very little to show for all the nonsense as the guy on the project who was supposed to be the editor never really got around to producing something with the recordings I provided, really I just like playing with the hardware, and this season im going to do the editing myself.
yeah same
Work and personal: KDE Neon
Home media/gaming server: Bazzite
Fedora
Fedora on my desktop and Linux Mint Debian on my laptop.
There’s been some ups and downs with Fedora, but nothing too serious at the end of the day and I do quite like it. LMDE has been as stable as a rock and I haven’t had any issues with it. I don’t really use my laptop that often and its mostly just for web browsing/other simple things.
I forgot LMDE existed
lol it definitely doesn’t get the attention the Ubuntu based Mint gets, but I quite like it for what I use it for
alr and true
Bazzite for personal/gaming, currently Arch for my work install. Will be migrating to Aurora-DX for work one of these upcoming weekends. I still have Windows for the occasional game that doesn’t quite work right under Proton and for my VR headset which requires Windows Mixed Reality 🤮. Don’t do VR much, so it’s quite rare that I boot it up.
ik vr is obescure
My daily rn is a laptop running Win 10.
I have the parts for a new rig, I’m thinking of running Mint on that.
EndeavourOS
