Poll: What's your main operating system, 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)?
- retrac 5y agoAlongside Arch Linux (my desktop OS) I still have a soft spot for FreeBSD and will put it on a router or server.
- mindcrime 5y agoLinux. Specifically Pop! OS on a System76 laptop, and usually Fedora or CentOS on VPS's.
- codevark 5y agoUnless 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 :)

- eigengrau5150 5y agoMost 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.
- mikecoles 5y agoProper Linux everywhere it can be. VyOS on the router, for now.
- hansot 5y agoExclusively 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.
- vermaden 5y agoSince 16 years FreeBSD on home servers and desktop/laptops. Used LibreELEC (Linux) for some time on Odroid C2.
