It has been 22 years now, so it's very fair to say "all above" ❤️

A combo of gaming, office/admin and tinkering/hobby for me. Originally tried Linux because I borked my windows install on an old netbook, and liked it. Still prefer it to windows for the ability to use older hardware, along with the inherent benefits of Foss. Currently using Fedora Workstation on my PC, and MX Linux on my laptop. (Seriously considering going all MX to be honest)

It is hard for me to pick one specific thing in this list. I use it primarily and for "everything", which divides almost equally in brows/streaming, gaming, and office work. For the latter, I would not say this is similar to admin work.

Only chose 'Tinkering/Hobbying' because there's no "Daily Driver" option for those of us who use it as a normal, general purpose computer.

Mix, learning linux as a whole while gaming on it. Valve keep up the good work for the deck. The year of the linux desktop may never happen but you're sure giving us more attention!

Office/Admin and Tinkering/Hobbying. Only occasionally, Design/Content creation.

Just everyday life - web browsing, studying, coding - basically everything, really.

Started as tinkering / hobbying. Shifted almost all office work in Linux now, except for a couple of apps which need windows. For that I learnt virtualbox then vmware & finally now on Qemu. Great experience. Enjoying every bit of reliability which I never found in windows. :)

I actually do a little bit of all of that. Linux has come a long way since I started messing with it in 2008.

Well it's my main machine so some usual daily stuff, browsing, checking movies, series, YT, Odysee, some gaming and coding. What ever you do with a computer really.

I love being able to code in Python and having absolutely no problem by having ditched Windows.

What a daft question. Linux is free, comprehensive, revives old machines and releases you from the Windows/ Apple yoke. I use it everyday on everything incl a built for Linux Starlabs machine and several old MacBooks which run as good as new with minimal RAM. 🤷🏿♂️👏🏿👏🏿

My experience gaming on linux is just incredibly good. All my games are either native or work great thru proton, no bugs ever faced. I'm lucky or smth. Ultramarine (Fedora) 36 pantheon.

Day job (Sys admin), Python, database dev, computer repairs (small business) in my small town, Factorio (other gaming). Been about 25 plus yrs using Linux. Servers first (used cygwin with Win) then desktop (shout out to Lubuntu) now using Kubuntu. Alpine Linux for servers, and Docker. Ubuntu servers for everything else. Some Centos converted to Rocky linux. Kodi for media. Storage with TrueNAS core, TrueNAS Scale and Open Media Vault, Openfiler. AWS, Digital Ocean, and Linode for all my dev ops needs (Ansable is the best) . Tinker a lot with SOC like HardKernal, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Micro controllers. (Home assistant). Working on Alpine Linux with Window managers, trying to get the best fit. 😁

Linux is now my primary operating system after getting tired of several workarounds in Windows. I use it for literally every task. I use Arch btw

I use EndeavourOS KDE because there's no other distro like it with timely KDE udaptes and without Snaps. And I'm trying to move as much of my Windows workflow to Linux, including audio production.
