Curious about the overlap. I wonder if its actually that much of what appears to be a consensus on Lemmy, or just a loud minority.
Laptop: LMDE (lappie is fubar, new Framework ordered, shipping next month apparently)
Desktop (mini pc): LMDE 3 yrs
Phone: Moto flip 50 ultra (stock) , eyeballing the Fairphone6+ e/os but would really like a Linux Phone
Mint on PC, but I’m still using a phone with a very locked down bootloader that includes afise that blows out if the bootloader is unlocked. Next purchase will be for a phone that’s less controlling. I’ve neutered the bloat best I can and using mostly FOSS apps.
Kubuntu on desktop and laptop. Graphene on phone.
Arch on PC, eOS on mobile.
My PC runs Arch (CachyOS) and my personal phone runs GrapheneOS. I have an iPhone and a Windows laptop for work.
I also have a few of my old android phones lying around not being used, so I went and installed PostmarketOS (now Nura or something) on one of them. Mostly worked, except it was A) a pain in the ass to get the bootloader unlock code (thanks for nothing, Motorola) and B) the user-submitted version that I had to use in lieu of an officially-supported version for my phone caused the flashlight to get stuck on, lol. It seemed to work right after a couple restarts, but idk. I don’t use the phone, just wanted to see if it would work.
I would prefer not to use Windows for work, but even were I somehow permitted to change the laptop’s OS, I would be locked out by security; our IT has blocked Linux systems, as a request refusal informed me the first time that I tried accessing the remote login after ditching Windows on my home PC.

On the otherhand, I had done an unlock on Moto G 5G 2024 and it was actually quite easy IMO. I mean the instructions did feel like rocket science but I just carefully read it and once its done, I felt like an elite hacker lol
Problem is data doesnt seem to work on Lineage OS on a USA Verizon MVNO so… yea maybe thats just useful for a offline privacy journaling or listening to music device I guess, I don’t really use that device, its just sitting there collecting dust
Linux on computer, stock android on mobile. Might move to iphone. Linux phone at some point also probably.
I suspect that the average lemming is a lot more of a normie than these comments let on, but the fediverse does skew more tech literate/curious than average. Or at least we have a decent mumbet of outspoken Linux and Graphine users.
For me? Short answer is yes if you squint on Linux, otherwise no although given free time I probably main Linux at home. Battery life keeps me away from wanting to try Linux on a phone.
For work I have an iPhone, MacBook, and an x64 windows 11 laptop. I ship software that runs in Ubuntu containers and we make a ton of use of Nix for local development, which means I spend my time in a WSL terminal if I’m on the windows laptop or I’m in a zsh terminal in MacOS that thinks it’s on another planet.
For home I’m on Windows, macos, and Android. I would like to get one of my windows devices moved to steam os, but haven’t set the time aside that’s required for the initial install.
Normal Google on the phone, though I am looking at alternatives in the nearish future, my phone will still be good a few more years, but there isn’t much in the way on other options beyond GrapheneOS. Not a bad start to de-google, but I wanna go full swing all in when I decide to do it, hopefully some solid Linux phones will exist by then.
Dabbled with Ubuntu back in like 2015. Windows fucked me hard this year, wiping 3 years of data because of a failed automatic update. It used a back up 3 years prior without even asking me, and I had done several this year for various reasons. That was my last straw, wiped everything, threw mint on a USB and did a full cinnamon install. Never been happier. Had a few hiccups to start and then it’s just fucking worked. I find random shit of mine not working, but I can always find a fix online.
Fuck Microsoft, maybe they burn eternal in the AI fire (yes, I know AI is here to stay, doesn’t mean it’s the infinite industry Microsoft thought when they dumped cash into it)
Nixos on laptop and server, grapheneOS on phone
Yup. Nobara on my PC, GrapheneOS on my phone.
Most don’t, but I do
I started dabbling with Linux in 2019/2020, then fully switched in ~2023 because I got fed up with Windows 10 draining my laptop’s battery while idle.
In the beginning of 2024 I switched from a Galaxy S10 to Graphene OS on a Pixel 6.
Linux mint on my gaming computer, graphene for phone, just for the last year or so. Fucking around laptop rotates linux distros when I have time.
I use iOS for my primary phone and windows/mac OS on my primary computers.
But my fucking around with phone is running graphine, and all my fucking around with computers at least have Linux on them, even if it’s not my primary OS.
Linux on all my computers. E/os on my phone.
same
