I dual boot Qubes and Linux Mint (kinda two ends of a spectrum, I know).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recently switched my laptop to Garuda, it's an Arch based gaming distro. It seems to mostly work right out of the box, but I did have to tweak a few steam games to force them to use my dedicated graphics.
I guess I could go in and force steam itself to use the graphics card via env... But I only have a handful of large games at the moment. It's just as easy to set the requirement per game right now.

Linux Mint with a secondary partition running EndeavourOS
Nobara on my gaming desktop, Fedora Kinoite on one laptop, Debian 12 on the other.
Qubes OS
Accidentally wipes out Mint last week, but have been meaning to try out Fedora 39 Plasma. So far, I love it. I have been really busy recently, but it has been a great system so far. My SteamDeck really made me fall in love with Plasma.
Manjaro KDE
Fedora is what keep getting back to every time I get distro hopping fever. Either gnome or KDE It's wonderful!
Had been on pop for a while. But lately gnome shell was using a ton of ram and performance was trash, so I moved to fedora with KDE. Been great so far.
I daily Windows 11... though I use Ubuntu for servers and Mint for my linux desktops (older hardware that doesn't W11).
Threads like this are exactly what keeps a good few of us from ever getting started. Lol. Good fun to read through though. One day I'll pick a distro and give it a whirl. Till then, thanks for the entertainment.

nixos + xmonad + xfce-no-desktop here. Its not for noobs perhaps but so stable and confidence inspiring.
I'm rocking two dailys right now. Tumbleweed and Nixos. I jabe tumbleweed on my work laptop as well as one laptop at home. Rock solid go to that I trust for all the things. I started using nix on a number of other machines at home a few months back, and I'm really really enjoying it!!
The answer's always Debian. I use guix for packages, though it doesn't have as much stuff on it as nix.
