    but most of us use a high level of "reasonablePrivacy" so I think we might be safe...:)

    meanwhile, back on Earth...

    laptop : windows something - yes, I know I should keep it updated but I only use for MS Office and a few other minor things
    tablet : Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite

    Desktop Windows 8.1 Highly active-highly favored
    Laptop with Windows 10 collecting dust on a table. No interest in it except hooking HDMI to it on occasion for large screen movies.

    2 desktops, one is running many installations of Windows 10 and the other Windows 11.
    4 laptops, the one I use daily is running Windows 11 and the others, Windows 10.

    I also have various other old laptops I use on occasion. Most are running Windows 10, but I've upgraded some to Windows 11.

    1 laptop with Win 10. When my son did his mandatory military service I used his laptop as well therefore I had 2 similar fast machines for a while, I thought it's good to see what it feels like to work with 2 almost identical computers in terms of hardware... Well it was a disaster in terms of work flow almost like having two apartments in the same city without any immediate advantage as you can only live in one at a time. I saw no advantage whatsoever, if my current laptop dies, I can get another one in a day or two and let Macrium do the rest. My daughter as well has a laptop, my wife decided that her smartphone was more than enough...

    2 PC desktops with Windows 10
    2 Laptops with Windows 11

    Windows are split between my spouse and myself, but the Peppermint one is all mine!

    All kinds of computers, mostly running Linux with some legacy Windows use. In general daily use, I have 3 laptops and 2 minis. My computer use is compartmentalized and each has its purpose. I've got at least 10 more that get occasional use. I use computers like notebooks and some get opened more often and I'm nomadic in what I use and transfer data and OSes from one machine to another quite often. Hardware is cheap and has been for a while. I have loads of extra computers, laptops, printers, scanners, media devices etc. Most have cost me nothing or very little. And I live a pretty isolated life, it's not like I live in the a big city where there is even more abundant surplus hardware.

    One Win 8.1 desktop (8 years old) and one Win 10 laptop (1,5 years old).

    I mostly use the desktop but in the night I switch to my laptop, I'm a stocktrader so during cooking it's handy to keep an eye on stockprices. After I'm done eating I usually continue to work on my laptop (on kitchen table) otherwise it would be a waste of money.
