I use 9 systems currently:
- 5 Gentoo
- 2 Arch
- 1 FreeBSD (OpnSense)
- 1 w11
And the w11 is a work laptop that is getting Gentoo whenever I get a minute, leaving w11 on as small a partition as I can get away with for a once a month check in to intune.

Windows 11, I think. I never check but it's defo Windows.
Windows 11 across the board, though I'm trying to migrate. I used Ubuntu as a daily driver in the early 2010s but I was soured by the retirement of Unity and was disappointed by the gaming at the time. These days I've liked the idea of KDE Neon, but I've got a lot to do to be ready for a full migration. I'd take my time with it but the AI stuff has rushed me to move faster.

MX Linux
Of the machines I own: 2 are running Ubuntu server (one for hosting a Minecraft server, the other for testing as I'm still relatively new to Linux), a NAS running trueNAS, A laptop running dual boot Windows 10 and Kali, and my main machine running Windows 10 with Kali and Ubuntu running though WSL. As I am typing this, I am installing Mint on one of the drives of my main PC. I've been putting it off for way too long as the majority of the programs and games I use do not have Linux support.
DietPi (debian) on all my ARM servers, Fedora-CoreOS on all the x86-64 servers, a pi400 as my desktop running fedora, SteamOS on the steam deck.
Windows 11, but I just finally got around to switching back to Garuda Linux last night. We'll see how it goes. Still have a lot of headaches and assorted annoyances to work out.
Why not a more stable and proven distro like Fedora workstation? I game on steam on an old P1 running Fedora 40 if that's of any worth.
Fedora has given me more headaches than arch has, per unit time. At least in arch I can fix the problems myself without looking at obscure bug reports.
It was a long time ago though, so I may be looking through anti-rose tinted glasses, misremembering, or misjudging my experience.
I like to tinker with my system.
NOTE: I'm not the person you were questioning.
I went from Debian to Arch to Alpine to Fedora, Fedora 38 was very much plug and play as far as drivers for the used laptops I buy. Been rock solid ever since.
Distro hop and try it out, a live image is only a dd command away.

Mint
Bazzite for personal/gaming, currently Arch for my work install. Will be migrating to Aurora-DX for work one of these upcoming weekends. I still have Windows for the occasional game that doesn't quite work right under Proton and for my VR headset which requires Windows Mixed Reality 🤮. Don't do VR much, so it's quite rare that I boot it up.
ik vr is obescure
Win7 with microcode patches from 0patch.
dont know that existed the patching microcode
Yeah neither did I till I signed up for their service.
Full disclosure: I have no compensation relationship with 0patch, I've just been a full retail customer for years and highly recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to move away from win10 when it hits EoL.

Ngl i love linux am gonna stay on it
I multiboot 4 OSs...
Windows 10... some old, pirated patch.
Fedora 40
Gentoo
Arch (my current daily driver)
I am curious. Why the other Linuxes? (Linii?) I know people do that -- but I never knew why. I just settle on one for a bit, then hop away when I get in a mood.

Windows 11. It sucks but I have apps that don't run on Linux, and there simply aren't any alternatives. I dual boot Kubuntu on my laptop and Kubuntu is great. I just wish software compatibility is better
honestly same
wine is great for this tbh.
i had a couple of holdouts i used in wine until i found a good alternative
Kubuntu, planning to switch to NixOS
Desktop and laptop run Linux Mint, shop tablet turns Fedora Workstation, TV box runs OSMC.

Currently Linux Mint 21, using MATE as my desktop environment.
I still run Windows 10 on my laptop. I have a few specialty apps that still require it, but I expect to switch to Linux rather than Windows 11. I also run a household server on Ubuntu Linux.
