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.
Almost all computers I own run Linux, just one runs BSD. Edit: 2 desktops, 2 laptops, 3 servers.
My phone has the manufacturers rom, which is very close to stock aosp. My bootloader is unlockable, and those both were the reasons for choosing the phone (fairphone 5).
I’ve run custom ROMs on my phones in the past (I think on all of them, until this one). And I’ll switch to a custom ROM eventually, probably once Google rolls out the planned changes with making it a massive pain to install apk directly (early next year? I think?).
I’m basically in the Apple ecosystem for everything (phone, main computer, laptop, tablet) except for gaming, where my gaming PC was Windows until about 10ish months ago, when I changed to Bazzite (and have no regrets).
Primary laptop: NixOS
Primary phone: GrapheneOS
All servers currently running Archlinux, but will be migrated to NixOS in time.
Various old android phones, running LineageOS.
Linux for a little over 20 years now on all computers.
I had lineage on my last phone but my current one doesn’t support it. :(
Edit: I’d say it’s a loud minority though and those running either / both will be the ones answering here.
The online poll said everybody uses internet… There’s some heavy selection bias going on here.
I’m using NixOS on all my laptops and servers, LineageOS on my primary phone (the Jolla hasn’t arrived yet), and Nura on an offsite monitoring machine built from an ancient phone.
Yep, ubuntu on the pc, lubuntu on tje laptop, e os on the phone.
Debian or Kubuntu on PCs, GrapheneOS on phones. Same goes for my wife, kids, and even my computer-illiterate boomer parents (because I decide what they use).
(Also OpenWRT, Proxmox, Steam OS, etc. on specialty devices. Those aren’t allowed to be proprietary either.)
Stock iOS. Computer is windows/macos. Server is proxmox/debian/ubuntu mix. Router opnsense.
For better fit for worse, I like to narrow my options. I don’t want to choose my GUI, with a million ways to configure it, etc. I do run a home server and that gives me an outlet for fucking around if the mood strikes.
Is (relatively blindly) relying on Canonical and GitHub etc. really an advantage over relying on Microsoft or Apple? Sure, open source can be reviewed but Heartbleed and other similar vulns suggest people aren’t catching things; even the Linux kernel is AI coded these days.
Work is totally different than *nix admin but it is still tech and I’m kind of burnt out on it. With that said, with the behaviour of USA lately I’ve become very aware of the centralisation of the internet and I’m working towards more selfhosting and less reliance on big tech. If proton fires their AI booster I’ll move my domain there quickly.
Only one. My phone is stock Android.
And I technically use Windows 11 laptop most of the time (yeah, WSL and MSYS2 are awesome), but I have an old PC with Debian on it (for Linux desktop) and a Raspberry Pi (mostly for random dev stuff and running Docker apps).
I’ve been using linux for desktop lately and its been really doable now with a stupidely complex setup.
Yup, Artix on laptop (when it arrives, Debian on my ThinkPad server) and LineageOS for MicroG on my Pixel
I do
Laptop: gnu/linux
Mobile: lineageos
Sounds like an enumeration tactic
I dual boot Pop OS and windows 11 on my main computer, though it’s worth noting I use Pop for 99% of things… Windows only exists to calibrate Xbox controllers… It’s my white whale of shedding windows entirely. 😂
Laptop runs Pop
Server runs Linux mint.
Phone runs grapheneOS.
Both, running Mint on my desktop and laptop and Graphene on my phone. Can’t imagine it any other way.
