@nixCraft I'm in a uncommon scenario: develop on Windows for a living but at home run Linux and one Mac.
@nixCraft "Because I'm paid to" or "because that's what you get on a Raspberry Pi" or "because that's what my ISP offers" or "because that's what my phone runs" (if you're counting Android) are my reasons. @nixCraft wow, are we actually seeing the year of the Linux desktop in these poll results @nixCraft I had always used Linux for web development, server administration and basically all of the web/email browsing. Had to dual boot on Winboez to use Adobe softwares and games. But recently started to adapt/teach myself Gimp (for desigining) and Proton (for gaming). It's a really awesome feeling to finally dump Winboez completely. @nixCraft I am a gamer and a developer, and have been both since before my first Linux install and long before I switched to Linux full-time. But, even if I stopped playing games and writing software, I doubt I'd move off of Debian, as long as it works on my hardware. Not that Debian has no problems, but they are different and less than what I hear about from MS Windows users, and put up with on my employer's laptop. |
@nixCraft yes
