I carry a laptop and mobile hotspot everywhere, including woods. But most stuff runs on servers and desktops at my home and business. The laptop is just the primary user interface, with local git, editing, light compiling, etc. I'm attempting to get Fedora running on an ARM Chromebook, which I would use to replace my XO-1 for traveling light.

An HP3000 N Class, 8 way.

Have few hassles running the latest kernel on three of my desktop systems. Windows 8.1 on my main working PC is boted as the last option but gives me the most trouble LOL

I have two partitions: Ubuntu Creative Studio, Mint 18.1

I use a desktop and a laptop. Usage percentages are about 50-50.

Desktop running Kubuntu 14.04

Notebooks are the clear winner for me though the more complete picture would be (in order of use and with top functions also in order of use):

Notebook: dev, sys admin
Cell: sys admin, gaming, dev
Raspberry Pi's: media, server, sys admin
Desktop: gaming, sys admin, dev
Tablet: gaming, sys admin

I use JuiceSSH to access my devices and servers from my android devices and been messing around recently with appinventor style dev apps on android as well for quick simple calculator apps and stuff like that when not around a computer and feel the urge to build something, Sketchware being best I've found so far.

It's always a laptop at work. Docking stations help when back in the office. At home it's a desktop every time.

Main computer here is a stand-alone, 64-bit, desktop running under Debian.
Also use a laptop for occasional travel, also running under Debian.
Hope this helps.

Desktop for real work.
Laptop when I remember to take it with me

"Smartphone" when I'm not near my computer and I have to reply to an urgent email

Hey,

I write a bunch of code and I use virtual machines regularly.
My laptop is my best friend which do the job very well.

Normally a desktop would be the best for virtualization and programming but I don't own one.
On the road we can still code ;-)

Regards.

Must be my age but I love my desktop machine....
I have never bought a new one and have built every one I have ever owed....
I have four operating systems on my dual core 5400ghz machine. Mint 18 which
I use most. Ubuntu 16.04 which I recently installed when having problems with my Linux 18
OS but I managed to sort. And of course, MS Windows(7) and Windows(XP).....
I also have two Linux Servers in the house one of which is never switched off!

I LOVE LINUX and the Linux Community.... If I had to choose just one system it
would have to be Linux 18 which I use 90% of the time anyway.....

Desktops running XFCE, though still Windows for graphics work and printing.

Hi all,

The primary computing device is a Laptop. In my job I use a Laptop with Windows 10, nevertheless at home I use 2 Laptops with Ubuntu 16.04.

The other computing device that I use is a smartphone with Android.

Best regards.
