instant pot, air fryer pot lid, deep fryer for things air fryer can’t do. Everything else has linux or is controlled from a linux server.

I’m still mostly using Windows on my main PC. I’ve got a few jobs to finish before I switch, but the main one is scanning old photos from the 80s and 90s. I’ve tried lots of different scanning software on Linux, but I can’t find anything that works as well as the Epson software that was bundled with the scanner.

It’s got a few one click fixes for bad exposures that work really well too, so things like that orangey reddish cast that some photos have is fixed almost automatically. It can all be done easily in other software, but the time saved by doing it in the scanner software is massive.

I sometimes have macbooks from work; but I gave to my last one in favor of a Linux laptop from a Linux company and the sailing has been smoother than any of my macs in the past.

In the future I’m going to insist on Linux laptops or they can find someone else to do the job and Linux is the only reason I have the leverage over an employer to make such a requirement and the best part is that they bought the high end Linux laptop since it was so much cheaper than the macbooks.

Windows 11 on a Lenovo Thinkpad for work. No Linux-option, but we are working on it. Would still need Win11 for Office-work, as it is widespread in the organization and interop with LibreOffice or OnlyOffice isn’t flawless.

I use Apple devices for end-user activities but Linux for my routers and servers. I grew up with Windows at home and Macs at school; as a teen I used Linux full time on used PCs but always loved the “it just works” design of Apple gear.

I actually prefer FreeBSD, but Docker and containerization have brought me much closer to Linux.

Specifically, I love using Alpine Linux due to its flexibility. Its packages are very up to date and I can install an actually working Node or Ruby with a simple apk add versus installing nvm or rbenv. It’s awesome for lightweight, no nonsense stuff like Tailscale, VPNs, etc.

iPhone, mostly because of family.

I eventually want to jump to Lineage on Pixel, but that’s not an option for me currently.

My Thinkpad has the factory Windows install on its factory-installed drive, but I only booted it once and otherwise never use it. As the laptop has 2 M.2 slots, I just installed a 2 TB SSD in its secondary slot and installed Debian 12 on it right after I opened the box. I nearly always use that install.

I recently had an exam where the spyware test monitoring Chrome extension was mad about me using Linux (I only use Chromium when I have an exam - otherwise I just use Firefox), so I had to use one of the Windows machines in the lab. This was weird, because I’ve taken other tests (including after this incident) that didn’t have a problem.

Back in high school, I had to use a Chromebook and the occasional iMac, though the Chromebook is technically a Linux device.

I have a windows 10 gaming rig hooked to my TV, which I only power up for gaming. I figured out it was a good compromise to install windows on this one instead of dealing with Nvidia issues and other tweaks on linux, even though I dual-booted bazzite and boot it every now and then to see if I can play my games on it and motivate myself into switching.

I use a PowerBook G4 running MorphOS.

My parents never bought me an Amiga when I was little, and I’ve been making up for it ever since.
