Ubuntu :)
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.
Windows 11 for my gaming PC. Debian running KDE Plasma for my work PC. Debian without a DE for my various home lab PCs.
Debian Stable (Bookworm)
I just switched to Linux with PopOS about a month ago. My aging HDD is about to die because of bad sectors, and I was able to get myself a great deal on a 1 TB Crucial P3. Got it and decided to install Linux instead of cloning my HDD.
There are minor pains of using Linux over Windows and trying to run Windows programs on it, but it is so much better now compared to even just a year or so ago.

I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secureπ.

Windows 11 running on my laptop
For everything but VR, Arch Linux with KDE Plasma. For VR, Windows 10
I've played VR on Linux before with my Vive but it's definitely not feature complete yet. I just got Knuckles for it though so I've been using the Vive with them a lot recently, so I might start trying it more often. The lack of desktop view in SteamVR on Linux is really annoying though (I got it to work once, but that was the only thing that worked at the time lol)
Linux all the way, using OpenSuse
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!
FreeBSD 13 and Fedora KDE spin.
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.
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..
Debian Sid XFCE.
I have win11 and Pop_OS! on separate drives.
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.
Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)
Windows 11 as my everyday os
But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)
Arch with KDE on Desktop, Arch with custom DE (based on i3) on my Laptop. However I consider switching to KDE on my Laptop due to updates requiring me to fix things quite often.
Fedora Linux with either Gnome or Sway depending on the device.
Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise
Debian Bookworm (with MATE as desktop environment, and i3 as window manager).
Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.
Usually Linux Mint and Windows 11, but recently installed Manjaro on my Linux partitions to check it out.
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. π
My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back
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
Windows 11 for my gaming and work laptops.
Ubuntu for everything else.
Linux (Arch).
I can't stand Windows anymore. So much crap that I don't want and can't get rid of.
I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 10, which came preinstalled and is pretty much only used for games at this times.
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.
Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.
Win11 on bare metal (for games) with VMware workstation running Silverblue and Arch in distrobox. Most of my time is spent in VMs when not gaming. Did the dual boot thing for a while but it got annoying.

Windows 10 soon to be 11.
Linux gaming has come a long way and I game on my Linux box, but with WSL now I can most of my Linux specific work on my Windows machine and also game which gives me the best of both worlds.
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.
