linux on desktop, I just find it less annoying than windows
w10 on my ultrabook because I don't have time to install anything else. There's not really much difference between the two OS's really, linux has no popouts, slightly better performance and looks, and security is a non-issue, while w10 just has actual drivers for printers and shit, y'know better support for some things than linux may always lack.

>Antergos
I had Arch on another laptop but didn't want the hassle again so with Antergos I uninstalled all the bloat, WM, DM, etc and kept the utilities I needed. I'll probably move to an actual arch install when I get an ssd for my chinkpad.

Windows 8 on my PC because vidya and reliable if I need something done and it cant fuck up.

Linux (ElementaryOS currently, I distro hop) on my laptop because I fundamentally like Linux but it can be unreliable and doesn't do vidya. I know that Linux isnt inherently buggy bar certain distros, but because I dick around with it a lot, I tend to break it.


>>54583769
Why do you use two different distros on your different machines? Why do they do differently?
