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!

Linux openSUSE
Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.
Arch Linux with Openbox
MacOS. Looks like there's tens of us on Lemmy. Tens!
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.
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.
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.
I'm forced to use Windows at work and would quit if WSL2 wasn't available. Windows is just for the Outlook/Teams ecosystem and occasional IDE, but I mostly work out of my WSL terminal.
Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.

Windows 10 on my main machine and Lubuntu on my home server
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.

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"

Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.
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.
Manjaro
Mxlinux
Fedora Workstation.
Pop OS on my System 76 desktop (Thelio Mira). Couldn't be happier with it.
Dual boot NixOS for productivity and Windows for games. I do also have a macbook that I rarely use.

My main gaming PC is Windows 10. Other devices have varying flavors of Ubuntu Linux.
Windows 11
On my main computer I use Arch. My laptop is a MacBook, so that one runs macOS.
Kubuntu FTW
Nixos on my PC, NixOS on my laptop, NixOS on my raspberry pi
Also steamOS on my steam deck , don't see any reason to change that
I also have windows dual booted on my laptop as a secondary os but I boot it around once every couple weeks at most
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.
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.
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.
Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.

Fedora Linux with either Gnome or Sway depending on the device.
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 (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.
