I wish it was more, but the paid/closed options in a few categories are just significantly better than anything foss

Like sub 10% maybe.

Phone 1: iPhone

Phone 2: Android (pixel 4, stock rom)

Desktop 1: Windows

Desktop 2: Mac OS

Laptop 1: Windows

Laptop 2: Mac OS.

Laptop 3: Windows/KDE Neon, no attention paid to whether or not the drivers are foss.

Server: Proxmox with Debian and Truenas VMs.

Router: pfSense.

I just use what works for me, and what license the software uses is not at all a factor in that choice.

1 FreeBSD server with zfs mirror for storage and various server software

1 FreeBSD laptop for development

1 Linux laptop for software that doesn’t support FreeBSD

1 Linux desktop for work.

The rest of the family is 100% windows though :/

Id say around 80% since I use a lot of foss programs and only use linux/android/openwrt/brother printers. The other 20% is random proprietary stuff like steam I guess to be generous.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
