I use Arch btw
Peppermint OS , perfect for just working , and customise. But with the rise of asahi Linux my next computer will be a Mac. I also have a Windows AME install I'm not using just in case I need it. For phones , graphene OS . The best there is.
Windows 11. Don't @ me, I don't have the mental or physical energy to deal with Linux. I've never had a Linux install that's had close to everything working, there's always a device (network, sound, graphics, usb toaster) that doesn't work and attempts to follow people's instructions to fix it either make it worse or just do nothing.
Maybe I'm just useless or unlucky, but I'm due to die in a few decades and I don't have time to deal with that nonsense when Windows does everything I want it to.

Arch Linux (BTW)
Arch Linux on all computers for the last 10 years or so :)
Same, and although it's treated me well I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. If you're interested in learning more about how the parts of an OS work together it's great and you end up with a system customized to your needs and preferences but it's also a decent number of hours of learning and work to get something comparable to what other Linux distros are out of the box.

Linux Mint.

Fedora. I have yet to stumble upon stuff that doesn't run. I have no problems working nor gaming so no need (or wish) for Windows.

macOS on a Hackintosh. Itβs stable AF, and I love it. Use it for work and music production. Then I dual boot Windows 10 for games.

Fedora Silverblue
Gentoo with a custom tiling window manager written in x86 assembly in my free time.
Just kidding, I use Windows.
Debian 12
My main system is a Dell Wyse 5070 Extended running Pop-OS, but its main purpose is to be small on my desktop while being just enough computer to run ThinLinc (which is like RDP for Linux). ThinLinc connects to a much more powerful VM in my Proxmox cluster that runs Debian 11, which is my "real" desktop where I spend all of my time.
However, I'm currently working on setting up a new server with a better CPU, more RAM and a Tesla P4, after which my "real" desktop will be a Nobara 38 VM (based on Fedora) with the Tesla card passed through.

Unfortunately Windows. I want to switch to Linux, I really want it, but it's my first PC game since like 20 years and even if the latest progress are great It's not there yet for me.
Have you tried? Linux works really well for most games and frankly if you haven't had a gaming PC in two decades there's plenty of backlog to work on.

I use Arch Linux.
Windows10, cause I'm a basic bitch. I've tried to run Linux a couple times years ago, but games not running properly and me not getting over the learning curve always got in the way.

I use ArseLinux btw.
macOS.
Windows 10. I'm comfortable with it. I'm not sure what I'll do when the times comes to move to 11 because I don't like what I see going on over there. My main excuse was always comfort and gaming but the Steam Deck is showing me that gaming isn't as much of a barrier as it used to be.

Linux both at home and work.
Switched my desktop at home to Linux in 2017 and gaming works well, rarely any problems.
Personal: Linux via EndeavourOS 95% of the time. I have Windows installed on a separate drive so that I can play some games that don't do well on Linux.
Professional: MacOS because that's what the company prefers and has built specific tools for.
Ubuntu
Arch.
Windows 10 IoT LTSC, without Windows Store and other WPA bloat.
Strange that nobody else commented this
Linux mint
