@jon@social.vivaldi.net Linux. 😅

Top five distro I recommend are:

1) Ultramarine Linux
2) Universal Blue Aurora
3) Universal Blue Bazzite
4) Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop
5) Fedora Kinoite

@jon@social.vivaldi.net i use elementary os with ubuntu 24.04

@jon Linux for desktop, Android on my phone
Technically the iPod Classic OS (2.0.1 PC format) too however that's really just to play MP3s and stuff.

@jon
Linux debian, LMDE and Mint.
"Other" in my case are various #CustoROM

@jon chpsen, forced, or both?

@jon

Linux on the desktop and Android on the phone.

@jon
* Windows 7 (64 - desktop, 32 - nettop, 32 starter - netbook)
* Smartphone AuroraOS
* push-button phone KaiOS

+ now I'm learning HaikuOS in practice...
windows 7 is not eternal, and modern linux and win 11 are now fat and user-disgusting.

@jon [x] Emacs

@jon 4/7 FTW!

@jon Android is Linux, BTW.

@jon Linux for personal use and MacOS for work

@jon really wish this market research disguised as a tweet would stay on X =(

@jon 5/7, the other being BSD.

@jon This probably the best example I've seen of how much Mastodon is in a bubble, in terms of variety of users on the platform.

Not saying it's a bad thing.

@jon Tell me this poll was held on Mastodon without telling me it was held on Mastodon lol

@jon FreeBSD, Sailfish OS

@jon this is such a mastodon nerd question.

in real life, noone uses linux. people buy themselves a computer from the closest reseller and try to work with what they bought. cheap.

@jon the fediverse is so weird in the best way

I use macOS a few times a week, just for school, so i didn't count it. I do use Linux (bazzite) and Android all the time, so I voted for that.

Funny enough, I was going to be using windows for school, but I just can't get 11 to install on any PC that I own. (I could eventually, I have wasted so much time just trying at this point that it's not worth it.)

@jon@social.vivaldi.net

Technically Linux only on my Satellite STB right now.
Planning to move PC over though.

@jon sad to see android this high in the list. We are losing the desktop pc's. I believe the desktop pc is undervalued! And should return to more households. It's more powerful than a laptop or mobile. You can run Linux. And it's also more ergonomic than looking down all day. Hehe

@jon phone: android
work : MacOS (not my choice)
personal laptop: linux

partner and kids: android/windows/linux

It's a mixed bag..

@jon michelsoft binbows :D i know i mastodon like to shit on windows but for me its alright. win vista (for looks) win7 or 10 is probably my fav.

@jon I was unsure whether #NixOS counts as a Linux variant because it's not POSIX compliant and doesn't follow FHS https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/fhs.shtml. In the end I figured that since it _does_ use a Linux kernel, that I probably shouldn't check Other.

Not sure if I should pick Linux because I technically do "use" it on my server that I ssh into every few days, but I'd never use it on my actual computer.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net I use Windows, but used to do Linux before my Mint got borked

@jon Windows and Android at home, Linux and iOS at work.

@jon Fedora Linux (Ultramarine), Arch Linux (EndeavourOS), Android, SailfishOS

@jon
All those people using #symbian still!?

Or no mobile at all?

@jon Linux is pretty high 👀

@jon

✅ Android Open Source Project

(As opposed to the all-encompassing "Android".)

@jon laptop: linux. phone (#op6t): linux😍. https://postmarketos.org/

@jon
1. iOS
2. iPadOS
3. MacOS
4. Android
and not so "daily",
5. Windows

@jon

@alex_w
Wow - 57% Linux! 👍

#Windows #macos #Linux #Android #iOS #Chromeos #Computer #mobile #Vivaldi

@jon Windows right now, Linux sometimes. Depends on how much I'm sick of the other one.

@jon
I ticked the boxes for Windows, Android, and iOS because those operating systems are on devices I touch with my hands every day. But the reality is we all use Linux every day that we use the Internet.

@jon I use Debian, BTW 😉 I run #Debian on my laptop, workstation, two RPIs. Also, Linux on my bookreader (#PocketBook), don't know what distro there is. And /e/OS (#murena), degoogled version of Android on the phone (#Fairphone 3).

@jon You listed Linux three times :p I use two of them, my son the other.

@jon
Im surprised to see linux in the lead, that’s not a bad thing at all.

@jon
Windows 10 (against my will)
Fedora 40 (by necessity)
Android 11 (I would root if I could)

@jon debian at work, popOS at home. These results are only posible at the fediverse. I love you guys!

@jon Yeah… I'm going to have to pick GLaDOS on this one.

@jon But I'm an edge case as a SysEng overseeing about 100 ESXi hosts and hundreds of VMs around the world.
You forgot FreeBSD, the duct tape of the networking community.

@jon well I think my name is obnoxious enough for you to know

@jon e/OS/

@jon
At home: Linux and Android
At work: Windows and Android

@jon Windows in the Streets, Linux between the sheets.

@jon If I use Linux on personal PC, Windows on my work PC (because my workplace owns that), and Android on my phone, how do I go about plugging all three of those into this survey?

@jon selection bias. Linux users are less than 5% of all users. but in this poll they are over 50%

@jon Android phone, LMDE and ChromeOS PCs.

@jon honestly chromeos is the best switch I ever made after years of Linux and Mac. It’s insanely underrated.

@jon macOS by choice, Windows by employment 🤢

@jon Windows only for work. Linux / Android on my devices.

This feels like it would work better as two separate polls, one for what OS is everyone's daily driver, and a second for what type of phone they have (Android/Apple/non-smartphone).

Yes, Linux has been my daily driver since 1995 (currently Debian), and yes the device in my pocket runs Android... but it's not a computer and I'd never try to use it as such nor do I ever even think of Android as being an "operating system", at least not in any traditional sense.

@jon Linux Mint Cinnamon on my laptop, Android on my phone. Forced to use Windows 11 🤮 at work. I even talked to IT but they said that we had a contract with M$, even if lots of us use Linux on our personal devices. They hate Win11 too.

@jon macOS, Android, OpenBSD

@jon how many people answer "all of the above" and what do they have in common?

@jon #GNU, with Linux kernel, and Android also with Linux kernel.

@jon Also FreeBSD.

@jon macOS and iOS for personal use. Windows for my work computer.

@jon OpenBSD on the ‘real’ computer, iOS on the phone.
I am a retired college professor. Taught programming, databases, security, webdev, ...

@jon fire os and iOS

@jon (Det er mulig det blir en viss "selection bias" her..?)

@jon Windows at work, Linux at home, Android on the phone.

@jon Nth in an unending series of surveys proving that people who respond to Mastodon OS surveys are not representative of the user community.

@jon My “other” is Newton OS.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net

Windows on my main rig
MacOS on my laptop
Linux on my other laptops and servers
Android for my main phone
iOS for my second phone

I just don’t have anything running ChromeOS ​:neocat_lul:​

@jon bigger linux numbers than I was expecting

@jon Android is Linux.
