Hi. I am using macOS. so, what UNIX like OS are you using?
You must log in or register to comment.
I use NixOS on my pc, laptop, and server, although I dual-boot windows on my pc to play some games.
My phone is android, I have a pinephone but I can’t get discord and other things to work well on it so it can’t be my daily driver right now. (I know Matrix chat is better than discord, I even host my own instance, but everyone in my school uses discord so there’s no way to switch).
How easy is it to setup nowadays? I tried it 3-4 years ago and it was a pain to set almost anything up, even after learning the NixOS way.
Arch. I got it working 3 years ago, it’s still working, stable. On my main laptop, though, I’m running windows, and planning to install Fedora when I get the chance.
Run Arch on my main PC. Proxmox on my home server with Ubuntu server as VM and random containers.
Void Linux is home. Plus, as soon as word got out that Windows 11 had those insane system requirements and the TPM stuff I decided I would abandon Winblows for good once 10 reaches end of life.
My work machine is macOS as the company won’t let us use Linux. My home machine is Arch Linux (obligatory “BTW”) which I migrated to after Ubuntu dropped Unity and started forcing Snaps on everyone.
However, a nice shameless plug for my Terminal file manager: DF-SHOW which is designed to work on all Unix like systems.
Same exact story for me (mac and manjaro (btw)). Nice project!
this advertisement is ok, I’ll check it and see if I can use it with tdsr. if not, I’ll report back with issues that I found.
Linux Mint Xfce here - just right for me - not too splashy, not too hard core :-)
I’ll probably have to go with FreeBSD for their minimal base and incredibly clean and well-documented code and utilities.
I’m a grumpy old man when it comes to OSes. I started on Gentoo, used Arch for a while, a few years of Ubuntu, then a bunch of different Ubuntu-based distros, Fedora and all the Fedora spins, even ran the Hannah Montana OS as a meme for a week.
Eventually, got bored of the latest shiny things and fixing the best thing ever, and am using Kubuntu with Wayland. It just works, got no complaints.

We should both commit to exclusively using TempleOS and see who can last the longest.
I’m using macOS also but I’m a arch/Debian guy. i know both of them. I’m not an expert but before macOS i was using Linux. I came to macOS cause of school just wanted something solid. I still help people though if I can with Linux problem when I can
Gentoo when I want to do Linux at an enthusiast level and out of technical interest, and PopOS when I just want everything to work.
Fedora… and MacOS
I’m currently using Nobara a Fedora fork and upgraded today to version 38 it was a bit of a stretch. I had to delete many things in my /etc/ to get GNOME 44 working. Bluetooth and the panel on the top right is a bit buggy but it works.
On my laptop I use arch with hyprland
NixOS for several years now. It’s a big up-front cost but you can’t go back from atomic upgrades and rollbacks.
My progression was: Mandrake, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, NixOS. At work I use Nix flakes on Debian machines, so one month back I figured out I could install NixOS at home to get familiar with Nix. NixOS is really something different and it brings me back to the old times when Linux was new for me. It’s again an adventure!
I want to like macOS but Apple, IMO, is doing scummier and scummier things with it. For instance, I haven’t signed in to iCloud. Once a day it seems, I’ll get a little notice telling me that not all functionality will work until I’ve signed in. Ok… So I click the little ‘X’ on the notification. It opens the settings to the iCloud setup screen. That’s not what ‘X’ is supposed to do!
Not Arch!!!
why not!?
ignore. testing in prod!?
