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.
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.
Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)
Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise
Windows 11 for my gaming PC. Debian running KDE Plasma for my work PC. Debian without a DE for my various home lab PCs.
mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving
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
I use arch on my laptops, debian on my servers, and I recommend fedora to others. I'm also nix/guix curious.
Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.
Windows 11 as my everyday os
But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)
MacOS. Looks like there's tens of us on Lemmy. Tens!
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I generally dislike Ubuntu because they have some really odd breakages and bad defaults, but Debian just gets too out of date eventually.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).
Slackware Linux
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.

Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.

Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.
Linux Mint. When it first came out, it was the first distro where sound and wifi worked out of the box on fresh installations by shipping with restricted drivers. It made installations so easy that I just stopped trying other distros.
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.
Windows 11 ^^ It is what it is
Windows on desktop, Mac on laptop (altho likely switching to Framework with windows soon)
Windows 11 running on my laptop
Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to
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!
My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back
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 10 Pro, I'm waiting for end of life in a couple of years to migrate to Linux. Depending on how it goes, it'll probably be a one way trip.
Debian & Gentoo for personal
Ubuntu & Mint for work
Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.
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.
Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.
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 wasnโt asked..
Windows 11 for my gaming and work laptops.
Ubuntu for everything else.
