I'm generally running a Linux distribution on my computer, as for which one - well I have a tendency to distro hop around quite a bit. As of yesterday I'm on Fedora Kinoite (though I still have my Arch partition around in case I feel I need to go exit/go back) and it has been pretty smooth thus far. I have regular Fedora KDE Workstation installed on my old Macbook Pro as well, so it makes sense I suppose!
I also have a Windows partition for when I want to play a game that either doesn't work on Linux at all (cough Destiny 2...) or doesn't work as well on Linux, at some point I'd like to completely erase it though.
I wish GeForce Now worked better on Linux as I'd just use that otherwise. But for some reason, every time I've tried a game streaming service on Linux (GFN, Stadia, Luna, even Shadow PC) it has always felt like it was performing worse than when I ran it in Windows (just to make sure there were no issues with say my network).
Mobile-wise I just use stock ("Google'd" - yes, I know...) Android on my Pixel. On my servers I tend to use RHEL based distros, but with the recent news about RedHat's shenanigans I'm wondering if I should be regretting my choice now, but I guess we'll see.
Windows 11, because it was preinstalled and i just surf the web and stream from Netflix, Disney, Prime etc.
Fedora on my laptop and windows 11 on my desktop gaming PC
Windows cause I wanna play games with friends without crap going more wrong than usual
Kubuntu
Fedora, with proton, I waited for my steam deck, and then once I realized how good it felt, I made the jump for my main computer, I haven't looked back to Windows yet.
Windows 10. I primarily use it for gaming and development. I also have a Linux box for home automation with Home Assistant so I guess you could argue I use that the most passively.

ChromeOS on an ASUS Chromebox 3, my daily driver.
Windows 11 Pro. It has been solid, though I am mildly annoyed that updates keep changing little things.
fedora
Arch on my laptop and nixos on my server.
Dual/Triple boot with Fedora/Windows 10
Windows 11 Pro with WSL2 Ubuntu
PowerShell is my preferred terminal shell on any OS and I've never found a Linux desktop I get along with (don't get me started on the bloated Fisher Price playcenter that is MacOS), so Windows 11 with Ubuntu in WSL is perfect for me.
