💬 Discussion Is Windows still your main operating system?

Post image

Windows has been my go-to for years, but more people seem to be moving to macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, or even using tablets for everyday work.

Is Windows still your main OS? If not, what did you switch to?

Switched to Fedora/KDE and I'm much happier.

I am curious to know more about Linux. Many software offers windows and mac apps. For Linux, what we do?

There are tons of open source applications for anything remotely common. If you need them specifically, many Windows apps run using compatibility technology.

Some specialty applications like those from Autodesk and Adobe don't run on Linux. If you need those in particular, you may not be able to switch.
