@jon Linux for desktop, Android on my phone
Technically the iPod Classic OS (2.0.1 PC format) too however that's really just to play MP3s and stuff.

Marcos Dione@jon chpsen, forced, or both?
Inari Uveh 🍄@jon
* Windows 7 (64 - desktop, 32 - nettop, 32 starter - netbook)
* Smartphone AuroraOS
* push-button phone KaiOS
+ now I'm learning HaikuOS in practice...
windows 7 is not eternal, and modern linux and win 11 are now fat and user-disgusting.
Sir Politick Killjoy 🇵🇸 ☮️@linuxgnome @jon
Hehe... as far as I remember, Haiku was originally a desktop system for a personal computer.
This is a feature of the system that there is no choice of the user, because he is alone and it is you.

Stéphane Bortzmeyer@jon Android is Linux, BTW.

Shhh, don't tell the Casuals they're using the "Nerd" OS! You'll drive them back to Landlines!

@bortzmeyer @jon And so is ChromeOS.
mirabilos@bortzmeyer @jon Sorry, didn't see your post until after I'd ventured the same.
@bortzmeyer @jon and MacOS X is derived from BSD Unix.
nekonomicon@bortzmeyer @jon Android is not GNU!

Pomax@jon really wish this market research disguised as a tweet would stay on X =(
AgentMindStorm (Deactivated)@jon This probably the best example I've seen of how much Mastodon is in a bubble, in terms of variety of users on the platform.
Not saying it's a bad thing.

Martijn Frazer@jon Tell me this poll was held on Mastodon without telling me it was held on Mastodon lol
smyru@jon FreeBSD, Sailfish OS

Technically Linux only on my Satellite STB right now.
Planning to move PC over though.

Melroy van den Berg@jon sad to see android this high in the list. We are losing the desktop pc's. I believe the desktop pc is undervalued! And should return to more households. It's more powerful than a laptop or mobile. You can run Linux. And it's also more ergonomic than looking down all day. Hehe
Miss Behave@melroy @jon you can use linux on your mobile, too, if you really want it😅: https://postmarketos.org/ #linuxmobile #mobilelinux
@MissBehave @jon Yea I know... But you get my point ☺️. I also prefer if people use a laptop with Linux rather than Windows.
Especially windows 11 is a privacy nightmare. I don't understand why people would ever use that or will install it.
Steve Leach@melroy @jon I wonder how much damage smartphones, now being most people's main interface to the world, have done to discourse and reading. I've heard that *most* people don't own computers. And I know that trying to read any documents or longform articles on a phone is cumbersome and irritating. If someone sends me a link, I email it to myself and read on a real screen. Most people don't have real screens... so they only read tweet length content. Have smartphones destroyed attention spans?
@stevenaleach @jon Definitely. The smartphone decreased the attention span, if only because of the "social media".
We went from books to newspaper, to mainly online posts and blogs or articles. And now you see most people consume their news from small headlines alone, like on X.
And like you said, reading long in depth stories. Or news. Or other kind of material, only using a small screen on the phone isn't the same. It's so small, you get eye strain. Most people didn't read this last line..
@stevenaleach @jon I also dislike the default mastodon character limit! Why? Because we are afraid of any arbitrary lengthy text? It's the fediverse, not X or Facebook!
Morten Grøftehauge@drgroftehauge @jon I'm talking about the increase the mobile phone use vs Desktop use.
Edit: I also believe a lot of people didn't know it was a multi selection poll.
@jon michelsoft binbows :D i know i mastodon like to shit on windows but for me its alright. win vista (for looks) win7 or 10 is probably my fav.
DeManiak 🇿🇦@jon phone: android
work : MacOS (not my choice)
personal laptop: linux
partner and kids: android/windows/linux
It's a mixed bag..
Mark Crocker@jon I was unsure whether #NixOS counts as a Linux variant because it's not POSIX compliant and doesn't follow FHS https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/fhs.shtml. In the end I figured that since it _does_ use a Linux kernel, that I probably shouldn't check Other.
Григорий КлюшниковNot sure if I should pick Linux because I technically do "use" it on my server that I ssh into every few days, but I'd never use it on my actual computer.
Eltskale (Elias + Kalevi)@jon I use Windows, but used to do Linux before my Mint got borked
Bernhard Werner@jon Windows and Android at home, Linux and iOS at work.
Pipeliner@jon Linux is pretty high 👀
@MissBehave @jon Android i9s Linux - Google just cut it down.

Bluesky: @flaky.blue@jon Windows right now, Linux sometimes. Depends on how much I'm sick of the other one.
Bob Young@jon
I ticked the boxes for Windows, Android, and iOS because those operating systems are on devices I touch with my hands every day. But the reality is we all use Linux every day that we use the Internet.

Adam Wysokiński@jon I use Debian, BTW 😉 I run #Debian on my laptop, workstation, two RPIs. Also, Linux on my bookreader (#PocketBook), don't know what distro there is. And /e/OS (#murena), degoogled version of Android on the phone (#Fairphone 3+).
