Ask HN: What OS do you run?

Primary workstation is a custom tower with Arch Linux. Secondary is a dirt cheap laptop with Fedora, home server is FreeBSD. I also have a monster headless workstation at my job that runs CentOS. Oh, I forgot... I have one of the newish Dell Venue 8000 Android tablets too. I got one of those folding Microsoft bluetooth keyboards to go with it and it makes a pretty capable little SSH terminal that I can actually be productive on as well.

I mostly use Python, C++, Fortran and Haskell. For C++/Fortran, I mostly use the Intel compilers or Clang. I do my coding in Vim, with a few plugins to add the IDE features that I actually use. I use a mix of Kdb and Idb for debug work, both are really awesome.

I use i3 pretty much exclusively and urxvt+tmux, with some bits and pieces from KDE (e.g. Dolphin).

OS X on MacBook Air, OpenBSD on servers.

I use Make, Vi, and interpreters/compilers of various programming languages (Erlang, Golang, Clojure, Perl, etc).

I also use most of generic software from OpenBSD base.

I've been running Ubuntu as my primary desktop since the end of 2005, tried a multitude of other distros but always come back to Ubuntu - it just "works", the font rendering is excellent out of the box, package management is superb, yadadyadayada. I run XFCE, use to run LXDE but found XFCE a lot nicer.

Python/PHP, learning Go.. also learning docker.

My main PC is a Haswell i7, 512GB 850 Samsung SSD for Linux, 840 (512GB) for Windows, 32GB RAM, nVidia 980GTX, I sometimes play games (not as much as I use to), and the desktop is a pretty fantastic option.

I run a MacBookAir 2013 (i7/8GB RAM) with Ubuntu as my primary desktop, it's fantastic hardware the only limitation I run into is when I need to run everything at once (which is rare).

Home: Arch on an 3rd gen Lenovo X1 carbon

Work: Xubuntu on a 2nd gen Lenovo X1 carbon

At home I use vim with the usual plugins for my work, and at work more atom with vim-mode and whatever else necessary.
