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)?
Linux

Exclusively 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.


Alongside Arch Linux (my desktop OS) I still have a soft spot for FreeBSD and will put it on a router or server.


Since 16 years FreeBSD on home servers and desktop/laptops.

Used LibreELEC (Linux) for some time on Odroid C2.


Linux. Specifically Pop! OS on a System76 laptop, and usually Fedora or CentOS on VPS's.


Linux for everything, Windows for the few games I play with friends who only use Windows.


Proper Linux everywhere it can be. VyOS on the router, for now.
