By the time i got my current pc I hadn't booted into windows for several months in the old one, so it never got installed on this one.

Me a few months back when I accidentally formatted the Windows drive I was keeping for dual booting just in case.

Me accidentally installing Fedora on BOTH my hard drives...

AlijahTheMediocre ,

I heard you liked Linux so much, I installed Linux on ALL your harddrives

SeekPie ,

Imagine a 1tb drive partitioned into 16gb parts and a different distro on each. I have ALL the Linuxes.

AlijahTheMediocre ,

Where can I learn such power?

2024 ain’t over, you might switch to TempleOS…

Zetta ,

You make an excel to track your operating system of choice for the year but don't include the distro?!? For shame.

what's between 1994 and 2001? MS DOS?

No, I just didn't have a computer. I bought a MTX 80C and later a Ford Fiesta mk3, I also bought some Technics SL-1200 so I sould pretend to be a DJ:

In the end I just didn't have the need nor time for a computer.

Ok of I really think hard I might get some pcs and os's that I used since I can remember. But who has such a detailed list of os's they use?

Are Raspberrypis included, do work pcs count?

nao ,

You can include them if you want to

jeena ,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

In my case work and private OSses align quite well in the timeline, Raspberry Pi's I didn't put in here.

Zetta ,

I rate A+ now, very good.

An extra large, it seems. I don't get it either.

nossaquesapao ,

Did you stop using a computer between 1994 and 2001? I feel like there's some interesting story in there.

jeena ,
@jeena@jemmy.jeena.net avatar

Yes I did stop using computers during that time. While I had my Amiga in school only nerds had PCs, so I didn't get one, even though I was programming on my Amiga with AMIGABasic and so on. I guess it was mostly because I started doing normal teenager stuff once I was 16 like motorbikes, cars, playing music, going to the clubs, etc. so there was no time and no desire to use a computer. Only once everyone seemed to have internet at home I started feeling left out a bit. for some months I started usincgcomputers in Internet Cafes and then decided to get a used PC.

Mio ,

I actually feel bad for you using Linux before most stuff had measured. Font anti aliasing, font name, screen tearing, drivers, flatpaks etc.

VampyreOfNazareth ,

I use Manjaro BTW

alliswell33 ,

On my duel booted system I still have windows. But I haven't had to use it in a couple weeks and at this point might just delete it and go fully into Linux only. Just a few windows only apps that are making me unsure. Might try windows vm.

KuroeNekoDemon OP ,

Honestly if I played any games that had anti cheat I would run a windows vm in QEMU/KVM. Go the GrapheneOS route and sandbox the spyware (cough Google and Microsoft cough)

mmababes ,

Isn't GrapheneOS a mobile OS? How would it work on a pc?

ExploratrixLunae ,
@ExploratrixLunae@kbin.social avatar

I think they mean that sandboxing Windows in a VM is akin to how GrapheneOS can sandbox Google apps, not that they would use Graphene on a PC.

Happy to be corrected though!

ichbinjasokreativ ,

Some anti cheats can detect that they're running in a virtual machine and if they do, you'll probably get banned for some reason.

I have a Windows install that I haven't booted up in 2 years. I didn't really use it anyway. I just had one thing to finish there, but I am lazy.

I only used it for a few weeks after getting that laptop while waiting for Linux kernel 5.8 which would finally support that hardware as nothing older booted up.

acockworkorange ,

I like the idea that Linux and Windows have a duel every time your system boots and the winner gets to start up.
