- freamon ( @freamon@endlesstalk.org ) English27•1 year ago
It wouldn’t let you log in at all if you didn’t. It’s devine 2FA.

You don’t need to log in with TempleOS because God said so.

Linux of course. I don’t invite Apple or Microsoft into my computer. Apple has good hardware though so I can understand using a mac.
- redballooon ( @redballooon@lemm.ee ) 29•1 year ago
Mac OS. People say it costs more, but I am not paying for a hardware and then some software that tries to make use of it. Instead I’m paying for a well thought out product that just works.
- DJDarren ( @DJDarren@beehaw.org ) 24•1 year ago
that (mostly) just works.
FTFY
As a Mac user since 2007 it feels like that statement gets a little less true every couple of years. But for me it’s still light years ahead of Windows when it comes to my workflow.

I use EndeavourOS. I like pacman and AUR, as well as the fact that Arch-based distros are well-supported by most software. I’m too much of a noob/too lazy to setup an OS without a GUI installer though, which is why I prefer Endeavour over Arch.
- StantonVitales ( @StantonVitales@beehaw.org ) 3•1 year ago
I’ve installed Arch myself plenty of times, and I use Endeavour now just because I don’t feel like spending the time. Automation is a wonderful thang.
- ProtonBadger ( @ProtonBadger@lemmy.ca ) 3•1 year ago
I use it too, it’s great. I’ve been using Linux for decades and I know it intimately but why waste time fiddling with installing when Endeavour OS can do it with sane defaults while I brew a coffee ‽ I recently got a new laptop and I was ready to play Baldur’s Gate 3 from the old SSD in 20 min.
I did spend a minute installing btrfs-assistant and btrfsmaintenance though, it’s nice being able to boot a snapshot from grub just in case. I could probably have grabbed Garuda Linux instead but I’m happy with Endeavour.

Windows 7.
It was the peak of windows.
It was slick. It was fast. It was stable, and it was super easy to use. Never had a single problem with it, and unlike past windows OS’s it didnt require regular reformats to clean house for stability.
Unfortunately its dead now, and Microsoft abandoned that approach and switched to a slow burn approach at walled gardening.
I use Linux now, have been for years, because I saw where microsoft was going when Win10 was in previews, and there was no way I was going to be part of it… So I jumped ship as soon as EoL was announced for Win 7

Looked fine
Hit F8 for recovery options on boot

Debian 12 runs all my servers. It’s like the pinnacle of stability.
- ellesper ( @emi@lemm.ee ) English10•1 year ago
My answer isn’t unique, but Arch linux is just my favorite to use. I just really love the ability to assemble things exactly the way I like them during the installation process.
I also really like the idea of a rolling release distro, meaning no major upgrades. I just run pacman -Syu once a day and things have been great.
Lastly, almost any piece of software I could want is available in the official repositories or the AUR, and it’s super convenient to be able to install things right away from the command line.
Editing to add: My work laptop is a MacBook Pro and I love it. macOS is really pleasant to use and anyone who says it’s not is a liar. Apple’s user experience game is on point

Debian Linux on the server: all the flexibility I need in a server OS.
macOS on the desktop: it just gets out of the way and lets me do my job

I used to use windows but recently I installed Linux Mint to see how Linux works and to get more performance for gaming from my thinkpad.

Windows 95 and Debian were my “holy crap this is cool” operating systems as a kid.
Windows slowly went to hell over the years, and Debian didn’t, so now I mostly use Debian.
- jimrob4 ( @jimrob4@midwest.social ) 7•1 year ago
Debian Linux. Because it just works.
Runner-up: Mac OS. Same reason as above, but not free, so it’s #2.
Second-runner up: Free DOS because why not?
Distant last place: Windows, cause occasionally you need to call in your retarded cousin who is the only one that can do that one thing just right.

Mac OS
It’s pretty, functional, and has unix underneath so I can use it the way I really like to.
