I main macOS currently. And use KDE Plasma on my Steam Deck and then I have another PC that was a Windows PC that I flashed Pop!_OS on. And I really like it. It definitely feels like a Linux and macOS had a baby. But I am curious about trying a different distro.
I have a decommissioned work PC with Windows for things like MS Access or whatever strange reason I need a Windows-only application.
Windows 10... I have Mint dual booted, but couldn't bother to make video games work on it and have used it maybe a few dozen hours at most. School had some fairly Windows-centric materials as well that made it hard to transfer over.
Windows 10 for my main PC, with Linux Mint in dual boot. I code in mint. I might switch over to Linux full time soon as things keep getting better and better there. Gaming was my main holdup and that seems to be less of an issue especially with the steamdeck making huge new inroads.
My laptop is the same.
My server is Unraid, which has VMs for a ton of OS just for fun. I rarely use them anymore but they exist for testing and learning and stuff.
I dual boot Windows 10 and EndeavorOS on my PC for gaming and project work respectively.
Windows 11 for CAD and other stuff that's Windows exclusive. Would love to get steamOS off the steamdeck though, I used it as a temporary desktop and it rocked
I run Arch Linux with KDE for my workstation, and Fedora for my ThinkPad. My server runs Rocky Linux and I plan to get another (possibly in the cloud).
Hey, I co-founded Rocky! I'm always chuffed to see people using and enjoying it.
Awesome job, I use Rocky for all my home servers.
I am on Mac OS El Monterey for audio production work, and Windows 10 for general productivity/gaming.
I love Fedora, but found battery life less than optimal, and many of the programs I need for employment simply do not have Linux versions.

Do you use auto-cpufreq? https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq
It really made a different for me.
M2 Macbook Air for personal use and my freelance work and an AMD Ryzen 5600 with a Radeon 6700 XT with Ubuntu for ML/AI hobby work and Windows 11 for some minor gaming here and there.
Pop os on my personal laptop (it came with it, system 73 box) Work mac Kids gaming pc running Windows whatever, I refuse to touch it... Router running PFSense, Two servers on Ubuntu (2 vms each as k8s nodes) 3 raspberry pis (k8s control plane)
I like to tinker
macOS, works for me. Want to get a simple Windows PC for simple games, because that is just way easier to do than with macOS ...
Desktop: Dual boot, Arch Linux / Windows 10 (cba to do the BIOS thing to update to windows 11) for games, FL studio and photoshop
Laptop: MacOS
Windows 11, mostly for gaming. I also dual-boot Fedora, which now that Proton is getting so good I am considering making the full switch over. Only thing is I have an Nvidia GPU :(
Windows 11 on my desktop for gaming. Manjaro Linux on my laptop for most other things.
Dual boot Ubuntu/Win10 on one, and dual boot Mint/Win7 on another. If I can secure a stable internet connection I will switch the last machine to a server.
I'm a CS major, so I need all the experience I can get. I prefer Linux machines because I think the OS is superior in a number of ways.
I dual boot Windows and Manjaro. Literally the only thing keeping me tied to Microsoft is VR, just haven't been able to get my OG Vive working quite right on Linux yet, and it irritates me XD
I dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 11 on separate drives. I would go fully Arch because I love the idea of a DIY OS, especially for programming & game performance, but games like CoD are keeping me stuck with Windows.
Arch because:
I use MacOS and Windows 10 on my PC. Its a hackintosh. I prefer MacOS for general computing and photography editing in Lightroom, but I game on Windows.
