Fedora, first I just went with it to try it, but now I stick with it. It's great because things just work, and I haven't come across problems I didn't know how to fix.

Windows 11 for my gaming and work laptops.
Ubuntu for everything else.
I don't think there's a single "main" computer anymore. My home computer is Linux Mint Cinnamon. My mobile computer (which I use nearly as much as my desktop OS) is Android.
My next smartphone is going to allow installing a privacy-respecting custom ROM (because Linux on mobile really isn't there yet). Once I do that, I'll focus on f-droid apps only. Something to look forward to.
Linux (Arch).
I can't stand Windows anymore. So much crap that I don't want and can't get rid of.
Arch with KDE on my desktop where I play games and fuck around, Manjaro KDE on my work laptop, Debian on my servers. Doesn't get much better than that.
Slackware Linux currently
Windows 10 enterprise msdn. Unfortunately it looks like eol is pretty soon. I'm not liking windows 11 at all. Surprisingly this time pro and enterprise have the same eol dates, or have I read it wrong. Microsoft usually supports enterprise for a bit longer.
LTSC is to 2027 but I think there maybe some compatibility issues as it's not really designed for being a desktop OS. Might give that a whirl a bit later.
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.
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.
Windows 10. Would migrate to Linux, but between Adobe software and abusing the personal unlimited backup (specifically not enabled for Linux due to power users) from Backblaze it just makes more sense to stay right now.
Debian Sid XFCE.
Windows 11 for my gaming PC. Debian running KDE Plasma for my work PC. Debian without a DE for my various home lab PCs.
I have win11 and Pop_OS! on separate drives.
The same as all my other computers: NixOS.
I am lazy and this way they all run exactly the same config.
Windows 11 as my everyday os
But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)
Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)
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.
Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.
Arch with i3wm
Fedora 38 and Windows 10 on dual boot, though I mostly just use Fedora.
My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back
Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.
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
Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.

Linux, I like my main boxen to be stable. Unlike my Windows game box.
I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secureπ.

Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise
mac for working, windows for gaming, linux for serving
I use arch on my laptops, debian on my servers, and I recommend fedora to others. I'm also nix/guix curious.
EndeavourOS on desktop and laptop. It's been working great for years
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.
Debian & Gentoo for personal
Ubuntu & Mint for work
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).
