Windows 11. And I hate it.
Yes, I did try Linux. I had a great time. But unfortunately my Windows installation always breaks whenever I dual boot it with Linux.

Did you try installing linux on a partition
Yes, I partitioned my drive and installed Linux on that (I only have one SSD installed, it's a laptop)
Maybe once I get my desktop fixed I'll try it again. That one isn't "officially" compatible with Windows 11.
oh i think its better to install on another ssd
Yeah, that's what I've been told.
I'll check if my lappy has another SSD slot, because if not, then... dual booting with a broken Windows installation is my only option.
some linux users try passing their gpu through a windows vm and make the vm look like a real pc

Work and personal: KDE Neon
Home media/gaming server: Bazzite
Nobara!
Me too, love it
OpenSUSE for day to day
Windows for specific work related stuff
Windows 11 on my Surface Pro, Windows 10 on my main computer and bedroom computer (the smartest tv is a dumb tv connected to a cheap minipc), and Linux Mint on my server and old laptop.
Win 10. But I have Hyper-V enabled so I guess it is technically Hyper-V as the os and windows as the guest os.
Debian 12 (Backports)
Nix and dual boot windows for vr only, but I might try vr on linux
donno vr is kinda obescure on linux
Fedora on my desktop and Linux Mint Debian on my laptop.
There's been some ups and downs with Fedora, but nothing too serious at the end of the day and I do quite like it. LMDE has been as stable as a rock and I haven't had any issues with it. I don't really use my laptop that often and its mostly just for web browsing/other simple things.
I forgot LMDE existed
lol it definitely doesn't get the attention the Ubuntu based Mint gets, but I quite like it for what I use it for

Windows 10. Flirting with mint
Arch on a Chromebook, macOS on a MacBook Air, and FreeBSD on the desktop.
Manjaro GNOME
Debian Stable. I have a W10 partition but I don't boot into it very often. We're talking about a few times per quarter.
Fedora and Fedora Server for my server.
I used to dual boot windows but after the 4th time it nuked my boot partition, I deleted it and did a fresh install. I really only used it to play one non linux game which was Halo Infinite, which was not really that fun tbh.

Win10 on my gaming rig for compatibility and because I'm comfortable with the usage of Windows. Arch Linux with docker containers on the ol' server
