Windows 11. I'd love to switch to Linux but I have a few edge cases that keep me from doing that right now. I made the mistake of buying Forza Horizon 5 on the Windows store instead of steam. I know I can move my save over to the steam version and rebuy it, but I got the premium version and have no idea what DLC I need to buy again when I look at the store page. And I have an oculus quest which I use with Oculus Link to play PCVR games. There's ALVR to do it on Linux, but compared to link it's not going to cut it for me. Once I have a new VR headset (AKA when valve replaces the Index) and Forza horizon 6 is out/5 is EOL I'm more than happy to make the jump.

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

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

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!

Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.

Linux openSUSE

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)

Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.

NetBSD :)

Fedora

Win 10 but I'm craving to install mint/endeavour.

linux

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"

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.

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.

Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.

Mxlinux

My main gaming PC is Windows 10. Other devices have varying flavors of Ubuntu Linux.

ArcH, moving to NixOS

Kubuntu FTW

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.

Windows 10 Home

Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.

Arch Linux with Openbox

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.

Pop!_OS for desktop, FreeBSD for server

I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.

Insert compile firefox meme

xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim

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.

I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 10, which came preinstalled and is pretty much only used for games at this times.

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.

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.

Win 11 it just works for me

Arch with i3wm

macOS, and after having to use virtual desktops on windows for work, I appreciate macs spaces implementation so much more.

I have windows 11 on my gaming computer and that’s fine with a third party clipboard manager, and powertoys.

Windows 10 in the office even with powertoys and a third party clipboard manager still annoys me.

The virtual desktop includes all monitors as one desktop. If you switch one screen to a different desktop it switches all of them. On my Mac I can switch per screen with a swipe.

Also the virtual desktop overview is laggy so moving windows between virtual desktops is a pain. Furthermore in that overview you can only move windows between the same monitors virtual desktop, you can move across monitors for whatever reason.

My desktop runs Linux (Ubuntu), and I have a Win 10 and a MacOS virtual machine on it for when those are needed. I also have a Windows 11 laptop that's nearly also "main" because I do need to be mobile a lot. Increasingly, RDC from my desktop to the laptop is replacing the VM. I have spent a lot of time trying to set them both up to be able to do anything I need to do on either machine, but I greatly prefer my desktop when I'm in my office because I built it for myself for my birthday and it's kind of overpowered. 😁

Usually Linux Mint and Windows 11, but recently installed Manjaro on my Linux partitions to check it out.
