Fedora Silverblue. But since Fedora aims to include telemetry (although in a reasonable way) by version 40, I'll switch soon to something else. I feel it might be time to give BSD an honest attempt.

Linux Mint with gnome desktop
Ubuntu Server for my self-hosted cloud service
MacOS. Looks like there's tens of us on Lemmy. Tens!
Linux Mint. Never needed anything else, and hopefully it'll stay this way..
Linux openSUSE
Heavy gamer here. My main Distro is EndeavourOS, came from Linux Mint months ago. My homelab runs on Ubuntu Server.
linux
Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)
Fedora
Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.
Debian Linux (stable)
Currently on ArcoLinux on both my desktop and laptop (although they both have windows installs that I basically never use except for the rare case I need windows software or games)
Windows 10 on my main machine and Lubuntu on my home server
Endeavour OS
Win 10 but I'm craving to install mint/endeavour.
Linux mint is great for a stable OS afaik, endeavour is excelent for cutting edge packages and AUR.
Depends on preference and needs so while I want to recommend Arch based, I shouldn't as I don't know if its the wrong decision.
Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.
Currently Arch with KDE, switched recently from Gnome. Probably gonna swap to something a little more basic for the desktop environment, it's pretty but in the words of Peter Griffin, "It insists on itself"
Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.
Laptop is an m1 Air. I needed a new laptop and I wanted the System76 lemur pro but it was during the pandemic /chip shortage and I couldn't wait. It was my first apple product and Ive been pleasantly surprised. Iterm2 is fantastic and brew is one of the best package managers I've seen. The apple silicon is incredible and I think the ML cores are something people are sleeping on. They do ML tasks faster than my Nvidia GPUs by a good margin. And unified memory means, if you spec it right, you can have access to tons of ram for ml or GPU tasks.
My desktop has been Pop for 3 years or so. All the games I play work flawlessly and are getting even better as proton gets more love.
Pop is the perfect balance of everything. Cosmic is great, their kernel is very recent, they have the latest gfx card drivers, apt flatpaks means you have access to everything you'd need and it's rock solid stable. The upgrades have been flawless and their docs are incredibly useful.
I have windows lingering on a drive for dual boot but I haven't logged in to that other than to run updates in 1-2 years.
Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.
Nobara linux on my media center/gaming PC. The same on my laptop currently, but I'm a habitual distro-hopper, so I may be on NixOS or Vanilla or maybe Void next week. Whichever I happen to be on, there's a 90% chance I'll be using the Gnome DE.
Windows 11. I don't especially like Windows 11 but dev and gaming is pretty great on Windows. Visual Studio is pretty important for me too.
Currently win10 but am definitely getting outta that ecosystem in favor of a Linux distro like Linux Mint next upgrade. If not mint, then I don't know.
For personal stuff (mostly development and general browsing) I use PopOS, have been using it for 4 years now with no problems whatsoever.
For work I use macOS because forced.
Will never use a Windows machine again. I tried my wife's Windows 11 machine, and it fucking SUCKS!!
For gaming I have a Steam Deck which is SteamOS.
Linux all the way!
Arch Linux with Openbox
I use arch btw. I am waiting for vanilla os v2 for my laptop though, I think it would be great for a device which I want to "just work". Rn it has Ubuntu with some dell repos which have not been updated since Ubuntu 20.
Slackware Linux currently
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.
I use Gentoo. It's nice and comfy and I can actually control what I want to do on there.
Insert compile firefox meme
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.
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.
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.
xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim
macOS, and after having to use virtual desktops on windows for work, I appreciate macs spaces implementation so much more.
I have windows 11 on my gaming computer and thatβs fine with a third party clipboard manager, and powertoys.
Windows 10 in the office even with powertoys and a third party clipboard manager still annoys me.
The virtual desktop includes all monitors as one desktop. If you switch one screen to a different desktop it switches all of them. On my Mac I can switch per screen with a swipe.
Also the virtual desktop overview is laggy so moving windows between virtual desktops is a pain. Furthermore in that overview you can only move windows between the same monitors virtual desktop, you can move across monitors for whatever reason.
Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.
Windows 10 but I use WSL for VS code and docker.
I love Linux, 20+ years Iβd use, but the desktop experience is inferior to Win/Mac in my opinion. I do hope that changes though.
Windows 10 (Home) until end of support, but I'll have to look into getting into Linux, as, among other things, Windows 11 having an in-built AI cemented to me that I will never ever be using it.
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.
Fedora Linux with either Gnome or Sway depending on the device.
