What devices and operation systems do you use?

I personally own a device from all of the options except iPad and iPhone.

Boosts appreciated for wider reach.

@rolle Is there a reason for Android (and/or Chrome) tablets not having a dedicated option? I have a feeling they're a larger segment than iPads.

@rolle
I normally use desktops/laptops with linux/windows, one dual boot. But for work I mostly use tools running on my cloud server (obviously linux 😏) and using browsers. Not sure here if the arch of the local machine is of any importance. You can say the same if you mostly use web apps. What's the point in having a specific OS/machine if most of the power/decision is done elsewhere?

(I know, I tend to have 100s chrome tabs open so having a 17" i7 40GB laptop makes a difference 😏)

@rolle Unsure. I use a Fairphone which I have installed /e/OS on, but it ships with Fairphone OS which is a lightly reskinned AOSP-fork.

I know that Calyx and iodé supports Fairphone 4, but never thought about it as a Linux phone.

There's a pretty high chance that postmarketOS is supported by Fairphone though as they're generally positive to Android-forks. You can buy one from @murena with /e/OS preinstalled or from iodé with iodé installed (iirc)

So ig it's kinda Linux-phone kinda not?

I would love a Linux phone if they were ready, but they've still got a way to go for me to be ready and willing to take that leap, hopefully by the time my Note 20 Ultra dies though

As for the other I was using windows until march of last year, when I was having so many issues that I followed the hope of the then just coming out steam deck and switched to Linux, I seriously don't miss windows

And of course me and my partner both have a steam deck, they are amazing

Oof. I should’ve waited a little longer to respond because “Chromebook” was definitely not an option when I did the poll.

For work: the OG 2020 Lenovo Chromebook Duet.

Phone: Android (2020 Motorola G8 Power)

Everything else: 2021 M1 iPad Pro (at home) or 2019 iPad Mini (on public transport or at a cafe). I may still dig out my 2013 MacBook Air for some music-related stuff as well.

For PCs: Linux > Windows.
