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.
Mint
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

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.

Dual booting NixOS and Windows 11 on my desktop, macOS on my laptop.
I’d get rid of Windows if it wasn’t for some games that are annoying on Linux.

Kubuntu 24.04. When 24.10 is out I'll switch to it (usually a week or two later because I'm lazy and don't feel like rebooting). I've got two desktops and two laptops running that. Then there's the HTPC which also running Kubuntu with font scaling set real high to make it easy to read stuff from the couch (that includes Firefox with lots of GUI scaling changes; uBlock Origin makes it a fantastic anime watching station 👍).
Mine and my daughter's phones have KDE Connect so we can control the HTPC without having to get up to get the wireless mouse/keyboard 😁
The three Raspberry Pis in my house are all running the latest Raspbian image.
My wife's laptop is a Chromebook.
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
PC: Win11
Server: Debian 11 (i think)
Nas: TrueNas
Debian everywhere. On my desktop and my servers.
Windows 10 or 11 on all (three) day to day systems. Linux Mint on an old laptop which is hardly ever used, and windows xp on an ancient laptop that's only used as music player, and not connected to any network.
I think the path i took was something like win98, ME, 2000/NT, fedora core, Ubuntu, Arch, Manjaro, OSX/MacOS but also still using Windows on a corpo job laptop & Linux on work servers.
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.
