What is your desktop OS?

NewUser

overpass linux Kodachi. But no updates

missing-root

NewUser that sounds like you should totally switch...

Xtreix

NewUser linux Kodachi. But no updates

As my neighbor above writes, you should change.

Debian

NinjaShark

I honestly doubt that GOS is as secure as Qubes with its physical isolation. I don´t use Qubes myself though, mostly because of its lack of user-friendliness.

missing-root

NinjaShark qubesOS has no "physical isolation". It is a Xen Hypervisor running multiple Virtual machines

ubersecure

NinjaShark Qubes is not secure at all against an advanced adversary. No hardware protection, it only help against software attacks.

Linux Mint, and Windows 10 Pro for work, but I'm migrating to Linux full time and using web apps only for work. Let's see how long I can make it without needing full Office app features.

For Outlook, Teams, and Dynamics, the web works just fine. I'm not sure how excel and word will work. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

mythodical secure boot needs a fair bit of knowledge? Its usually just toggled from BIOS. Am I misunderstanding you?

mythodical

Zzgooloo secure boot can sometimes be that easy, but an optimal configuration can be quite complex. For example, have a look at the Arch Linux wiki article on Secure Boot.

Can't tell. But I'd prefer to use any Linux distributions that come with Gnome DE.

openSUSE Tumbleweed while I wait for openSUSE Aeon or Kalpa to be production ready.

Xtreix

ivicaivica To give some feedback, I'm running Opensuse Aeon and it works well, however, Kalpa is in bad shape and the release could be cancelled, in fact, Richard Brown would be in favor of it.

ivicaivica

Xtreix I am aware that Richard sincerely hates KDE ... still not sure why. But still, KDE (Kalpa) is necessary because there's a lot of people that prefer Plasma instead of GNOME. And both DE's have their pros and cons. Therefore I really hope Aeon and Kalpa will succeed. In the meantime, Tumbleweed is a safe haven.

Debian and Arch. See https://wolfgang.lonien.de/2023/12/now-running/ for more info

LINUX MINT

alci

User2288 quite outdated experience... Ssd trim is not a thing anymore, most (all?) hardware work out the box (no driver to install), in fact it takes much more time to get a usable PC out of a preinstalled Windows (remove bloatware / spyware) than to install Linux !

boarim

Arch. I mainly use to code and write. Everything else on GrapheneOS.

Pocketstar

LMDE6 (Linux Mint Debian Edition)
Most applications consisting of flatpaks for some low-level sandboxing. (Absolutely not a replacement for GrapheneOS though)
I would recommend Qubes and/or TailsOS for security.

missing-root

Personally Fedora Kinoite. Have a look at Secureblue though, which aims to improve the security of "traditional" Linux Desktops

tbh hearing that everyone uses Linux Mint or Debian is pretty shocking.

I'm an avid user of Debian Sid and it's my go-to operating system that powers all of my computers.
