Curious about the overlap. I wonder if its actually that much of what appears to be a consensus on Lemmy, or just a loud minority.

    I suspect that the average lemming is a lot more of a normie than these comments let on, but the fediverse does skew more tech literate/curious than average. Or at least we have a decent mumbet of outspoken Linux and Graphine users.

    For me? Short answer is yes if you squint on Linux, otherwise no although given free time I probably main Linux at home. Battery life keeps me away from wanting to try Linux on a phone.

    For work I have an iPhone, MacBook, and an x64 windows 11 laptop. I ship software that runs in Ubuntu containers and we make a ton of use of Nix for local development, which means I spend my time in a WSL terminal if I’m on the windows laptop or I’m in a zsh terminal in MacOS that thinks it’s on another planet.

    For home I’m on Windows, macos, and Android. I would like to get one of my windows devices moved to steam os, but haven’t set the time aside that’s required for the initial install.

    i use antiX Linux on my laptop, while i on my phone, i deleted google apps and services through ADB because it doesn’t support any reliable custom roms to flash LineageOS or GrapheneOS

    I use iOS for my primary phone and windows/mac OS on my primary computers.

    But my fucking around with phone is running graphine, and all my fucking around with computers at least have Linux on them, even if it’s not my primary OS.

    I started dabbling with Linux in 2019/2020, then fully switched in ~2023 because I got fed up with Windows 10 draining my laptop’s battery while idle.

    In the beginning of 2024 I switched from a Galaxy S10 to Graphene OS on a Pixel 6.

    Phones are iOS for now. But when we feel like dropping cash for pixels, we’ll switch to graphene.
    All workstations are on Fedora. All servers are Debian based.
    Steamdeck is on cachyOS
    One laptop is a dual boot (fedora/win10ltsc)
    Other laptop is tri boot with osx/win10/fedora

    So, only linux? No. Gotta keep some winblows for compatibility reasons. (mostly automotive, standalone ECUs and such)

    Don’t know about most people of course, but I do indeed run Linux on my computers. Ubuntu on work laptop, Arch on home desktop, and Tuxedo OS on my Tuxedo laptop.

    For the phone, I use Linux as well in the form of Sailfish OS which has support for Android apps too through Waydroid.

    Win10 for gaming compatability, Kubuntu for day to day BS, streaming, browsing, etc

    Windows is pure feces and I detest it. When my Win10 PC gives up the ghost I’ll never look at MS again.

    Hemming and hawing about installing Graphene right now on my pixel 9, it’s such a complete piece of shit. However I know I’m going to encounter a shit load of incompatibilities with my crappy banking software, etc, so I suspect that OS is not ready for the big time yet. A note to the autistic assholes: I don’t need a lecture about how you love it and how it’s wonderful.

      I have a Pixel 8 and although I don’t use tap-to-pay, I use my banking provider’s app just fine; downloaded via Aurora Store.
