ElementaryOS
Fedora Kinoite
Linux or ChromeOS most often. I keep one older windows 10 laptop around for specific software that won't run on anything else. I don't have to use it very often these days but when I do need it it's always for something important that can't run on any other OS.
I moved my parents to ChromeOS a couple of years ago, I use Linux on my work laptop and on my personal laptop as well.
openSUSE Tumbleweed
Windows 10 on the HTPC, dual boot to 7 when I need to rip VHS etc.
Windows 10 on main computer as I need google drive sync, visual basic for excel, stream what you hear and Playit Live for broadcasting.
Pop_OS for the main PC, Ubuntu for the laptop and Debian for all the servers (lots of pis). There are 2 PCs left that run windows 10, one is the media rig and the other was an AMD APU that lived in a briefcase as part of a "totally not laptop" thing I built. Its a slow process to fully migrate away from windows, but so far im managing.

My daily rn is a laptop running Win 10.
I have the parts for a new rig, I'm thinking of running Mint on that.
Ubuntu 2204 with normal Gnome on a Thinkpad T14, used for both work and personal stuff. Been eyeing Fedora Silverblue for a while…
For gaming I use GeforceNow on that same laptop.
Ubuntu 2204
OMG! What's it like‽ Did Linux become a mainstream desktop by then?
How'd you smuggle it back in time? And no: It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that Linux maintained backwards compatibility for the ancient hardware we're all running for that long 👍
Dude I love you. ❤️
I used ChronoBox, a deravitive of https://distrobox.it/ to scp the source back to 2024.
And yes, we’re pretty sure 2204 is the gonna be the year of linux desktop!!!
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed!
MX Linux, since ~8 years
Right now I'm using Windows 11 but I will most certainly migrate to Fedora in the future.
Edit: I already use Fedora Server on my homeserver.

Windows 10 for now. When they EoL it I'll switch to a Linux distro. Not sure what yet. I really like PopOS on my Surface because the gnome interface works well, but I think I'll go with something built with KDE for my desktop

Windows 10. Flirting with mint
Nobara!
Me too, love it
OpenSUSE for day to day
Windows for specific work related stuff
Arch on a Chromebook, macOS on a MacBook Air, and FreeBSD on the desktop.
Which one?
Windows, primarily, because I need shit to just function. And there's no competition to OneNote and Office in Open Source land.
But I have multiple VM's and containers running lots of Linux stuff - on Linux boxes because it just can't be beat as a Host. Even VMware is Linux-based.
And there's no competition to OneNote and Office in Open Source land.
I'm curious what is missing between OneNote and something like Obsidian or any of the other notes apps.
I completely understand office though, i find OnlyOffice good enough that i run it even on my Windows setups but I can imagine there being features, keybindings, etc that are not present in any of the alternatives. I've also seen a lot of people switch to using Google Docs exclusively since it helps with collaboration anyway, but I hate how poorly it runs...
because I need shit to just function.
Yeah some things are just not there yet too, like VR... So understandable

I installed Linux on two Windows laptops so they would function better.

Win10 on my gaming rig for compatibility and because I'm comfortable with the usage of Windows. Arch Linux with docker containers on the ol' server
