I use a mix of the following:

  1. Manjaro on my Work PC. Its a Linux distro based on Arch Linux. Meaning I get Arch Linux's excellent package management, rolling releases, some extra stability and up an running faster than a bare Arch installation.

  2. ChromeOS (!!!) on my Pixelbook (i7) for my personal use and light development.

  3. Windows 10 on my home computer I built years ago. It holds up for development well enough, and I use it to play games every now and then.


I learned Linux by duel booting a laptop a few years ago with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I forced myself to use Ubuntu daily, stumbling around and bashing my head against it until I got things working. I forced myself to learn the terminal, how updates work, and where and how to get software I needed.

I eventually dropped duel booting, and now if I install Linux, I don't duel boot.
