Depends. My laptop has Windows 10 as a backup, but runs current Linux mint w/cinnamon DE

My desk pc is on Windows 7, with a secondary drive I can boot from that's tuning running mint as well.

The household pc is running debian w/plasma because my wife likes it better than cinnamon. I tried mint on it, and gor whatever reason, it didn't "like" mint but debian works fine.

There's also the old PC I used to use as my writing computer. It's running debian with xfce because it doesn't get used by anyone else, and it's slow as hell with plasma or cinnamon. I don't really use it much, but nobody wanted the damn thing, so I keep it set up for the occasions when I need to be able to lock a door so I'm not interrupted. Which is when I have writer's block, not the other thing lol.
