Installed Manjaro on a notebook yesterday. Just felt like trying out something, that is not too different from what I'm used to.

And I thought having three partitions was weird.

And I thought having three partitions was weird.
Well I have 4 hard drives
Windows 10 is alone (Forever...)
Windows 7 and Ubuntu is togeather wtih that drive also being where everything goes (files, programs, drivers)
OS X and Kali are together with where I store my Anime/Manga/Hentai and is also where my Google Drive is too.
The 4th drive is just there. I don't know what to do with it.
I dual boot with Arch.
Thanks to Equinox.
I really like it tbh, it can be a hassle sometimes since I'm stupid ;w;

Well you've gotten much further than any other die hard winfan, good on you, mate.
Debian, just to play around with. My main OS is Win10 Pro, and since it comes with hyper-v, I figure it makes more sense to set it up as a VM. That way I can just set up a checkpoint, so if I really boink things up, I can go back to a working version quickly. Plus, I'm lazy and hate to wait for my PC to reboot.
Laptop I'm currently using is running Elementary OS.

I used to run EOS but it wasn't my thing, what features do you like about it?

Call me odd, but I like the interface. I'm not a Mac fan, but for some odd reason the interface is really clean, and if I have the dock hidden it just looks really nice. Overall everything is to my taste, and for the most part it runs well enough to use at school during the week.
Welp, Windows threw on the last straw today. I no longer have anything running Windows, all is debian of some sort or another

Wish I could have that level of dedication but I need my vidya.

Well, a tonne of steam titles support linux, and if a game has directx9 support, WINE will usually run it flawlessly

Yeah, I recently read they hit a bit of a milestone on how many titles are supported on Linux now. Though some of the games I actively play take advantage of Dx11. I'll stick around with Windows a bit longer, perhaps I may dual boot and have Windows for just video games, and Linux for the rest of everything.
Arch on my laptop right now because I like the package system and user repos.
wangblows 8 on my desktop because of >muh games
I've been thinking of selling the desktop though, trying to live lighter.
I run ArchLinux on my main computer and on my laptop. When I want to play games that aren't on Steam (visual novels, newer games, etc ,etc) I just boot my laptop to windows and stream it to my main PC.

I use Gentoo on my desktop and server because I really like playing around with my system and the idea of compiling everything with only the things I need through the use of cflags and useflags is very appealing to me. I also put slackware on my laptop because I needed something to just toss on there and I didn't feel like installing Gentoo on it and also the idea of a distro that didn't resolve dependencies sounded interesting and like quite the learning experience. Well lets just say that after a system upgrade and removing dbus as I shouldn't really need that when I use a wm only setup, xorg wouldn't start and I am unable to connect to wireless over wpa_supplicant to re-download dbus (also I'm too lazy to put the package on a USB stick or when I did it was a bad USB stick and it corrupted the packages and I didn't feel like trying again) so that's Slackware. I have used Arch Linux as my main os for 2 years or so in the past but left because I found Gentoo to be more fun and offered me more choices as far as lower level interfaces went (systemd). I put Gentoo on my old machine experimentally after hearing the /g/ meme, but found it to be actually a joy to use and ended up using the experimental machine as my desktop for awhile if that says anything. Anyway that's Linux for you.

Arch as it is the one I feel more comfortable with. 3 years and going, everything is easy to install and AUR rocks.
Arch. I've used Ubuntu, Fedora and a number of other distros, but i felt in love with Arch. Arch for me is the true "free as in freedom". Fedora, Ubuntu and some other famous distros are nice and user friendly, but so is Arch after some quick configuration.
I love its wiki and user repository, it is just great. You make of the system what and only what you want, it is pure.
