Well, if cost were no object but then it almost always is, isn't it?

I once had a Board member ask that we move from Linux to Windows. When I 
tallied up the cost to replace old hardware that wouldn't support the 
current version, and the cost of multiple copies of OS, Office, and 
various other software, he was quite surprised at what the price totaled 
-- about 40% of the organization's annual budget.


It was the last I heard of that request.

And given that I have finite mental space, it's really far more 
practical for me to use the same OS at home as at the office.


It will be interesting to see what I do once I am shed of the 
non-profit. I'm sure I'll be back here asking advice on *that* year's 
products.

I cannot speak for the others, but in my case, I used to use Linux on
servers, desktops and laptops almost exclusively for 10 years.

I continue to use Linux on servers and desktops to this day. About 10 years
ago i moved to Mac on my laptop. I became sick and tired to patching
kernels to get them to support suspending the laptop, bluetooth crappiness,
wifi issues, etc on Linux on the laptop.

A Macbook, while apparently more expensive, is pretty solid in terms of
specs, construction and aesthetics. A PC of similar specs, construction and
aesthetics costs about the same as a Macbook. IME, macbooks last a solid 4
years or so.

OSX is quite good. Best of all, I have access to all my favorite command
line tools through Homebrew and the ports collection.

My main use case for the laptop is to edit and process photos. The tools
available to do this are the best in the world. By comparison, my options
for photo processing is very limited on Linux.

If I were a gamer, I'd probably go with Windows. If I did more coding day
to day, I'd go with Linux.

Re: [silk] What's your primary computing device?

[Srini RamaKrishnan]

I found the light energy from large screen monitors left me tired and
weakened about ten years ago. I have been switching to smaller screens ever
since. These days it's more or less just my smart phone.

I perceived it was the right thing to do out of an intuitive sense.
However, a simple way to explain this is - any flickering light is
annoying, but TV screens flicker fast enough to fool the eye but not fast
enough to fool the subtler senses.

I suppose I was affected more because I'm highly sensitive to subtler
distractions.

Re: [silk] What's your primary computing device?

[Vinay Rao]

Much of work - reading online, emails, writing, making and editing
documents, image editing, CAD viewing - on a 5+yo 13.3" MacBook Pro with a
RAM upgrade. A lot of my work uses paper - doodles, sketches, notes - with
pen and markers.

I do most purchases/ transactions on the Mac too. My iPhone 6s is mostly
for phone calls, cab bookings, UPI payments to milkman/ bakery (yes!),
reading emails on the move, some music, and tracking the odd run or cycle
ride.

As for play, I have iPad(s)2,3 and Mini. Mostly use the Mini for iBooks and
Kindle, and the browser for going down a wormhole opened by something I
read. I recently watched all the series of Game of Thrones (for the first
time) one episode a day, on a new Asus Windows 10 superfast notebook.

I'd like to move to "ONE" device. Perhaps a 6.4" phone with a pressure
sensitive stylus, and enough horsepower to edit videos. And a mode to
switch from work to play :).

Work: A Linux desktop. And my MacBook Pro. I like the UI beauty of the Mac
and the access to my favorite command line tools (cal is still my preferred
way of looking at the calendar)

Play: (the same) MacBook Pro for email, news, photos editing. A Kindle
touch for consuming eBooks. I am amazed at the longevity of these devices.
Amazon's best product, IMO. 5+ and still going strong. And my Pixel phone
(for podcasts, audio books, quickly looking things up on the move).

There is also a Mac Mini at home hooked up to my TV on which I watch the
occasional Netflix or time shifted TV shows.

My primary device is an Acer Aspire running Ubuntu, hooked to a Dell 22
inch monitor. Secondary device is the One Plus 5, a phone that I am really
happy with because it takes great pics, the battery charges in 30 minutes
and lasts all day, and it is great for watching videos because of it's
screen and sound quality.

As an aside, I find it fascinating that this phone has 8gb RAM, the same as
my Acer laptop.

Linux laptop - need the screen real estate and a physical keyboard. 
Virtual keyboards haven't really worked out for me - especially since I 
spend large amounts of time in an SSH session. Use an Android phone for 
VOIP, random browsing and messaging when I'm away from the laptop. The 
phone is mainly used as a WiFi tether when I'm outside of my regular 
network.


If I really can't use a laptop, then an old Android Tablet with a 
wireless keyboard.

At home/work, I have a small network. My desktop runs Linux, as does my

server and interface to a windows-only scanner. I host three websites 
and a mail forwarder on a virtual machine half a continent away. I 
backup locally to a Linux laptop, which is my travel machine.


I'm traveling now, but depending on how my house fared in the Hurricane

Was my Dell Thinkpad for 4-odd years while i ran my own consulting firm.
Listened to music, watched movies, ran spreadsheets, had skype calls, the
works...

Now, back to regular 9-6 slavery, I use a 
for work I get paid to do.
Play is entirely my iphone 6s plus - does everything my laptop used to do -
videos, whatsapp, facebook, emails, rudimentary spreadsheets, photography,
scanning, payments, the works...

I keep dreaming of a day I'll go back to using a normal laptop for work,
and a basic phone for calls/sms...not very likely to happen, alas!

I have a total of two devices - a work-issue ThinkPad L460 and a Google
Pixel phone. The latter is, by design, work-disabled, and I have, by
devious machinations, acquired admin privileges on the former. I don't
carry the laptop home unless I have to do stuff that isn't work-related.
But I do a lot of non-work-related stuff at work. At home, the phone (apart
from Netflix on the TV) is the only device I use.

My MacBook! The new MacBook is simply amazing .. the most portable laptop
I’ve owned. I do have my iPad Pro and iPhone (yes, I have sold my soul to
them) but it’s still my laptop I spend most time on.

My phone. I write on it, make invoices on it (tiny invoice is a great app
for Android, btw!), and watch movies on it. I own a laptop solely because
my dad gave me his secondhand MacBook.

[silk] What's your primary computing device?

[Udhay Shankar N]

As in, what do you spend the most time doing serious work/play on? For any
definition of 'work' or 'play' that appeals to you?

For me, it is still an assembled desktop computer running Windows.
Notwithstanding the existence in the house of 3 laptops, sundry tablets,
and many, MANY phones.
