Windows 10 but I use WSL for VS code and docker.
I love Linux, 20+ years Iβd use, but the desktop experience is inferior to Win/Mac in my opinion. I do hope that changes though.

Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.
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)
Linux all the way, using OpenSuse
mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving
Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.
Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.
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
EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop. It's been working great for years
Debian & Gentoo for personal
Ubuntu & Mint for work
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I generally dislike Ubuntu because they have some really odd breakages and bad defaults, but Debian just gets too out of date eventually.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).
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..
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.

Slackware Linux
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)
Win 11 it just works for me
I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secureπ.

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.
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
Kubuntu
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.
Debian Sid XFCE.
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!
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.
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 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.
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.

Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.
Windows 11 running on my laptop
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.
xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim
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.
