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 11 for gaming PC, Windows 10 for work laptop, Mac OS for personal laptop and Fedora for my old laptop. Also using both Ubuntu and Rocky Linux for servers. Steam Deck is still on Steam OS, Pi's use Raspberry Pi OS (aka raspbian). I don't really have a 'main' computer as it mostly depends where I am and what I'm doing.
I'm pretty comfortable with any OS at this point, even on mobile devices (both Android and iOS/iPad OS). I'm not a big fan of Windows but it pays the bills working in IT. I was in the process of migrating servers away from Ubuntu and onto Rocky (rip CentOS) although with the recent changes in Red Hat Land... We'll see how the rest of the migration progresses.

Fedora, used Arch for many years but decided to try it out and have really enjoyed it. After Red Hats RHEL decisions I might swap to arch or nix os.
My main system is running Windows 10
It works great for everything I need and as long as I don't enable the TPM in my motherboard settings I don't have to worry about it upgrading itself to Windows 11. Unlike when my system upgraded itself from 8.1 to 10. That was a hard one due to driver issues with my Bluetooth card at the time.
I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.

MacOS Ventura
Windows 11 running on my laptop
xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim
My desktop runs Linux (Ubuntu), and I have a Win 10 and a MacOS virtual machine on it for when those are needed. I also have a Windows 11 laptop that's nearly also "main" because I do need to be mobile a lot. Increasingly, RDC from my desktop to the laptop is replacing the VM. I have spent a lot of time trying to set them both up to be able to do anything I need to do on either machine, but I greatly prefer my desktop when I'm in my office because I built it for myself for my birthday and it's kind of overpowered. π
The same as all my other computers: NixOS.
I am lazy and this way they all run exactly the same config.
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.
Mac OS Ventura at work. Win10 at home
GNU/Linux.
I distrohop a not but right now im using Garuda. I also use different Debian variants in other computers.
On my laptop I have Windows 11 installed since thatβs what it came with. Iβm sure Iβll migrate it to Linux eventually but itβs new.
On my desktop I mostly bounce between Ubuntu and Arch though just installed Pop OS today to see what the craze is all about.
I daily drove Linux for 15 years. OSX for about five, and now windows since WSL.
It's easier to get the Linux stuff I like in Windows than it is to get the window stuff I like in Linux. WSL provides me all the tools I need to manage my Linux servers in a reasonably performant package.

Installed: Windows 10, Windows 7, Lubuntu LTS, ZealOS. VMs for MacOS, Android-x86, and Haiku.
MacOS of course, or Win11, or Garuda. Depends on how I feel or what I need to do. No it was not made by Apple.
Windows 10 on my main computer, Mint on my HTPC which is getting a lot more use.
Desktop is Win 10, laptop is mint.
Windows 10. Have proxmox setup with Ubuntu and a few other operating systems.
Fedora and Debian Linux.
Arch right now. Probably going to give NixOS a try in the near future though.
Main PC is a gaming rig with Windows 10, side PC for work is Linux Mint with a Win10 dual boot partition just in case something fucks up in Linux, but I haven't needed it in a while. I am not upgrading to Win11 for as long as I am able.
macOS Ventura on the Studio and the MBP work machines and Windows 11 Pro on the living room gaming tower.
Kubuntu 22.04 on my laptop & Ubuntu Mate 22.04 on my desktop/server.
Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn't need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they're always written with Ubuntu and it's default commands and packages in mind so it's just easier to work with
Primary PC, runs windows 10. I have lots of various software development related programs which just works here. They don't work as well on linux.
All of my servers (Except blue iris), are running linux. Mostly ubuntu.
The other various gaming PCs around the house are running Ubuntu too. (Kubuntu to be more specific)
Windows 11 unfortunately. I haven't found a suitable way to jump to Linux.
Arch & Windows 10 on my desktop, OpenSuse Tumbleweed on the laptop.
Currently I'm dual booting, mainly Arch for the most part and Windows 10 for my games.
I can't use proton for most of my games since all of them are latency sensitive (rhythm games).
