Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.

Kubuntu
I've been using Windows 11 and Ubuntu with dual boot on my laptop, but a few days ago I tried Linux Mint, and it's awesome. Now I plan to switch from Ubuntu to Linux Mint.
EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop. It's been working great for years
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.
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.
I have win11 and Pop_OS! on separate drives.
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 11 ^^ It is what it is
Windows 11 for my gaming and work laptops.
Ubuntu for everything else.
Debian Sid XFCE.
Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise
mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving
Arch with KDE on my desktop where I play games and fuck around, Manjaro KDE on my work laptop, Debian on my servers. Doesn't get much better than that.
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.
Slackware Linux currently
I use arch on my laptops, debian on my servers, and I recommend fedora to others. I'm also nix/guix curious.
Windows 10. Would migrate to Linux, but between Adobe software and abusing the personal unlimited backup (specifically not enabled for Linux due to power users) from Backblaze it just makes more sense to stay right now.
Windows 11 as my everyday os
But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)
Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)
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. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.
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.
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
My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back
Slackware Linux
Win 11 it just works for me
Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.
Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to
