I have dual boot Manjaro/Windows, but honestly I haven't used the windows partition in two years except for the very occasional moment I need to check if a document format is alright to send to someone, or anyone else not familiar with Linux needs to do something.
Heavy gamer here. My main Distro is EndeavourOS, came from Linux Mint months ago. My homelab runs on Ubuntu Server.

Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)
For personal stuff (mostly development and general browsing) I use PopOS, have been using it for 4 years now with no problems whatsoever.
For work I use macOS because forced.
Will never use a Windows machine again. I tried my wife's Windows 11 machine, and it fucking SUCKS!!
For gaming I have a Steam Deck which is SteamOS.
Linux all the way!

Endeavour OS
linux
Debian Linux (stable)
Currently on ArcoLinux on both my desktop and laptop (although they both have windows installs that I basically never use except for the rare case I need windows software or games)
Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.
Fedora
As a webdev, I'm loving Win11 with WSL2. The new Terminal is great and Powertools make organizing windows on my ultrawide easy. I've had to use exclusively Macs for a while for my last company and was not really a fan.

Windows 10 on my main machine and Lubuntu on my home server
Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.
Win 10 but I'm craving to install mint/endeavour.
Linux mint is great for a stable OS afaik, endeavour is excelent for cutting edge packages and AUR.
Depends on preference and needs so while I want to recommend Arch based, I shouldn't as I don't know if its the wrong decision.
Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.
Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.
Currently Arch with KDE, switched recently from Gnome. Probably gonna swap to something a little more basic for the desktop environment, it's pretty but in the words of Peter Griffin, "It insists on itself"

Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.

Main PC is Win 10 for gaming and audio production. MacOS for work.
Windows 11. I don't especially like Windows 11 but dev and gaming is pretty great on Windows. Visual Studio is pretty important for me too.
Mxlinux
On my main computer I use Arch. My laptop is a MacBook, so that one runs macOS.
Nobara linux on my media center/gaming PC. The same on my laptop currently, but I'm a habitual distro-hopper, so I may be on NixOS or Vanilla or maybe Void next week. Whichever I happen to be on, there's a 90% chance I'll be using the Gnome DE.

Windows 10
Windows 11
I've been using windows for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch to another OS, Linux or otherwise.
Arch Linux with Openbox
Just installed Fedora Kinoite. I'm running immutably now
Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.

Arch/KDE on my laptop which is the tinkering machine, Pop!OS and Windows on the desktop that other people use and I'm not allowed to break.
Windows 10 (Home) until end of support, but I'll have to look into getting into Linux, as, among other things, Windows 11 having an in-built AI cemented to me that I will never ever be using it.
xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim
macOS, and after having to use virtual desktops on windows for work, I appreciate macs spaces implementation so much more.
I have windows 11 on my gaming computer and thatβs fine with a third party clipboard manager, and powertoys.
Windows 10 in the office even with powertoys and a third party clipboard manager still annoys me.
The virtual desktop includes all monitors as one desktop. If you switch one screen to a different desktop it switches all of them. On my Mac I can switch per screen with a swipe.
Also the virtual desktop overview is laggy so moving windows between virtual desktops is a pain. Furthermore in that overview you can only move windows between the same monitors virtual desktop, you can move across monitors for whatever reason.
Debian Bookworm KDE - though I have to admit that it's not my final destination when it comes to distro hopping, I guess. Currently thinking about giving Zorin OS a go.
Fedora Linux with either Gnome or Sway depending on the device.
I dualboot Windows 10 Pro and Fedora 38 KDE Spin on my home desktop.
I use Fedora for programming and to administer my other systems (Minecraft server, NAS, Raspberry Pi), and Windows for gaming.
I plan to move gaming to Linux too, but so far I've been too lazy to make the jump. I'm also not sure if I should go with an extra install of Arch or just try to do it on my Fedora.
