Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise
Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.
Windows 11 as my everyday os
But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)
Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.
Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.
Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)
mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving
Slackware Linux
I use Kubuntu for the kde plasma desktop. It made the switch from windows much easier. I dual boot and occasionally use windows if I want to play a game which doesnβt have Linux support
EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop. It's been working great for years
Debian Sid XFCE.
Debian & Gentoo for personal
Ubuntu & Mint for work
I use arch on my laptops, debian on my servers, and I recommend fedora to others. I'm also nix/guix curious.
I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secureπ.

KDE Neon. It's Ubuntu LTS with the latest KDE development stuff.
I generally dislike Ubuntu because they have some really odd breakages and bad defaults, but Debian just gets too out of date eventually. I do use Debian for anything that needs Linux and isn't my main desktop, though (and *BSD if it just needs UNIX).
Win 11 it just works for me
Windows 10 + linux mint dual booted on my desktop which is my current main, but I have windows 11 on my laptop that will become my main computer because college. Unfortunately windows 11 is required, i dont even know if stuff like solidworks that i will have to use would run on linux. I am also just more used to windows in general
NixOS. I distrohopped for years but now I've landed and it has been several years since I felt any urge to explore alternatives (maybe with the exception of Guix, which is basically the same idea but everything is in Guile Scheme (Lisp)).
I'm never going back to a mutable OS if I can help it.

Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to
Fedora KDE feels like the perfect blend of customization and stability for me. Oh, and the packages are up to date. I have been on Linux since the early 2000's and finally stopped distrohoping with Fedora about 1 year ago.
Windows on desktop, Mac on laptop (altho likely switching to Framework with windows soon)
My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back
Windows 10 but I do most of my work in an ubuntu 22.04 VM in virtualbox. But use windows for games and casual use.
Server runs ubuntu 20.04 server which has a bunch of services for my network and my main storage.
Laptop runs ubuntu 22.04 desktop. It's an old laptop so I'm using ubuntu to extend its life.
Debian Stable (Bookworm)
Windows 10 as long as possible. I think my hardware may support Windows 11, but there's no benefit to me upgrading until I need to.
Kubuntu
Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.
Windows 11, but I'm currently playing around with different Linux distros trying to see if I can finally get rid of windows for good.
Windows, Linux on my servers and Raspberry Pi machines. Linux on desktop is oh-so-close, but it's been oh-so-close since the early 2000s!
Linux all the way, using OpenSuse
Fedora, used Arch for many years but decided to try it out and have really enjoyed it. After Red Hats RHEL decisions I might swap to arch or nix os.
Ubuntu mainly and Windows mainly for streaming. Discord lags for some reason when I stream on Linux. I also have Fedora and Manjaro on my second/third comps but that wasnβt asked..
