I've become addicted to my laptop, running Debian 8. Rarely use anything else for personal use.

I have both a Laptop and a Desktop

Primarily, I work on an old Dell D620 running Ununtu 16.04 with the XFCE4 desktop. This is overtly installed from Ubuntu server, not from an Xubuntu distro.

I run an old Acer laptop as a server, running Ubuntu 14.04 server. It hosts an Xubuntu 12.04 VirtualBox VM which runs a web page for my farm www.RioDeVaca.com and an old XP Pro VM which monitors my solar panel system.

My wife has another old D620 which is running Xubuntu 12.04 for now.

I have a newer Toshiba Win10 machine to run a Junos VPN to a client. I can also run it under Win7 in a VM, but performance is really just not there with my old hardware.

I also have several Android devices which I use for e-mail notifications, tethering when not at home, one which plays speedometer with a gps speedometer program when I was driving my truck which broke its speedometer cable...and yes, phone calls.

I plan to build a home server box with more performance and retire the old Acer, which has been running almost continuously for a decade. It is reliable, but I would like to run 4 or five VM's at once.

I have everything except a Chromebook, but out of all the devices out there, you'd only have to pry the desktop out of my cold dead fingers.

It's actually about 50/50 laptop and desktop, but, since I got my nice new widescreen monitor, I've probably been using the desktop a bit more.

The smartphone is way back.

Mainly desktop, though I use a laptop when travelling and Android tablet and phone when appropriate. Desktop and laptop both run Ubuntu Linux, with Virtual Box running a Windows 10 machine when necessary; I do some Windows development.

Best wishes,
Tim.

a light laptop, almost 80% of the time, then I have an older mac which is almost constantly connected to a 24" and acts as my desktop

I am just far more comfortable sat in front of a separate screen with a separate keyboard and a separate mouse with the workstation on top of the desk! The workstation is an old HP proliant quad core server with bits added to it.

Which is your primary computing device? Desktop of course.

That said, if the question had been worded which computing device do you use the most, it would be Smartphone.

I am typing this from my Desktop my Smartphone is with in arms reach.

I voted laptop but it is chained to my desk by two external monitors and a mechanical keyboard. Which is lucky as the laptop's keyboard has never worked properly since one of the cats puked on it!

Laptop all the way. I even replaced my previous desktop server for a MacBook pro.

Desktop with two large monitors.

For development, I use my desktop because it has lots of memory and more storage than any current laptop can handle.
