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.

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.
My desktop runs Linux (Ubuntu), and I have a Win 10 and a MacOS virtual machine on it for when those are needed. I also have a Windows 11 laptop that's nearly also "main" because I do need to be mobile a lot. Increasingly, RDC from my desktop to the laptop is replacing the VM. I have spent a lot of time trying to set them both up to be able to do anything I need to do on either machine, but I greatly prefer my desktop when I'm in my office because I built it for myself for my birthday and it's kind of overpowered. ๐
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.
Slackware Linux
Debian & Gentoo for personal
Ubuntu & Mint for work
Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to
Windows on desktop, Mac on laptop (altho likely switching to Framework with windows soon)
Linux (Arch).
I can't stand Windows anymore. So much crap that I don't want and can't get rid of.
Windows 11 running on my laptop
Mac OS Ventura at work. Win10 at home
Kubuntu
Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.
Fedora Workstation.
Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.
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 wasnโt asked..
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 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.
Another Ubuntu user here.
Windows 11 ^^ It is what it is
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.
Windows 11
Arch with i3wm
I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.
Insert compile firefox meme
Debian Bookworm, I like to live on the edge. The extremely stable edge.
xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim
Windows 10 but I use WSL for VS code and docker.
I love Linux, 20+ years Iโd use, but the desktop experience is inferior to Win/Mac in my opinion. I do hope that changes though.
Windows 10 enterprise msdn. Unfortunately it looks like eol is pretty soon. I'm not liking windows 11 at all. Surprisingly this time pro and enterprise have the same eol dates, or have I read it wrong. Microsoft usually supports enterprise for a bit longer.
LTSC is to 2027 but I think there maybe some compatibility issues as it's not really designed for being a desktop OS. Might give that a whirl a bit later.
Usually Linux Mint and Windows 11, but recently installed Manjaro on my Linux partitions to check it out.
Fedora Linux with either Gnome or Sway depending on the device.
I don't think there's a single "main" computer anymore. My home computer is Linux Mint Cinnamon. My mobile computer (which I use nearly as much as my desktop OS) is Android.
My next smartphone is going to allow installing a privacy-respecting custom ROM (because Linux on mobile really isn't there yet). Once I do that, I'll focus on f-droid apps only. Something to look forward to.
Popos on my personal laptop and Debian on my workstation at the office.
Fedora, first I just went with it to try it, but now I stick with it. It's great because things just work, and I haven't come across problems I didn't know how to fix.
Windows 10 Pro, I'm waiting for end of life in a couple of years to migrate to Linux. Depending on how it goes, it'll probably be a one way trip.
