Manjaro
Endeavour OS
On my main computer I use Arch. My laptop is a MacBook, so that one runs macOS.
Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)
Linux openSUSE
I use arch btw. I am waiting for vanilla os v2 for my laptop though, I think it would be great for a device which I want to "just work". Rn it has Ubuntu with some dell repos which have not been updated since Ubuntu 20.
Windows 10. No idea why anyone is using Win11.
I've tried Linux every few years for the last few decades and it's never been at a point where I can switch. I am in the process of trying again, however.
Started today trying to dual boot it on a Windows laptop that has a boot SSD and data HDD. Tried resizing the HDD and installing Nobara and can't get the machine to boot into Grub (the suggested fix on their site didn't work, possibly because of the two physical drives). Searching for a solution was fruitless and I'm honestly over it already. I want an OS, not a hobby.
The very definition of insanity right here. There is ALWAYS something that doesn't work and I'm not a fucking idiot but I'm not a developer either. Linux fans act like people on Windows have no excuse not to switch but I've been trying since the 90s and Linux just does everything it can to frustrate me. God knows how someone who's not tech savvy is supposed to figure anything out. /rant

Fedora
Linux. Pop!_OS
EndeavourOS
I've been using windows for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch to another OS, Linux or otherwise.
Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.
Windows 10 Home
Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.

MacOS. Looks like there's tens of us on Lemmy. Tens!
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.
Linux Mint with gnome desktop
Ubuntu Server for my self-hosted cloud service
I duel boot. I use Mint 99% of the time & Win10 for that 1% of software/games I can't get working.
Pop_OS!
Ubuntu. I've used Windows since v1 (yeah I'm an oldie), played with Linux on raspberry pi's etc. but had to use Ubuntu when I joined a digital team and over time switched back to windows less and less to now it's just for odd gaming.
Dual boot NixOS for productivity and Windows for games. I do also have a macbook that I rarely use.

Pop!_OS for desktop, FreeBSD for server
Main PC is Win 10 for gaming and audio production. MacOS for work.
I use Garuda Gnome Linux. It's setup nearly how I would set up an arch install from scratch, just working out of the box. I've done a lot of distro hopping in the past year, but I keep going back to Garuda.
Currently win10 but am definitely getting outta that ecosystem in favor of a Linux distro like Linux Mint next upgrade. If not mint, then I don't know.

MacOS with a tiling window manager for work, Win10 on PC for gaming and Linux on all servers. I would run Linux for work if Office, Adobe and esp. Outlook ran on it, MacOS with Yabai + SKHD is the closest I can get to a Linux experience while still being functional for work.
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)
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.
EndeavourOS on my desktop and Pop!_OS on my laptop (it's a System76 laptop).
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.
Manjaro Linux, also for my gaming. Booted up my secondary Windows drive yesterday on my main computer, just to update it.
Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.
Debian Linux (stable)
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.
