daily driver
Everyday transportation choice
A daily driver is a vehicle used for everyday transportation rather than special occasions—the car you commute in, run errands with, and don't worry about putting miles on.
The term distinguishes practical, reliable transportation from sports cars, classics, or project vehicles kept for weekends.
Extended to technology, a daily driver is the device or software you actually use: Linux is my daily driver now.
