I just switched to Linux with PopOS about a month ago. My aging HDD is about to die because of bad sectors, and I was able to get myself a great deal on a 1 TB Crucial P3. Got it and decided to install Linux instead of cloning my HDD.

There are minor pains of using Linux over Windows and trying to run Windows programs on it, but it is so much better now compared to even just a year or so ago.

Windows on desktop, Mac on laptop (altho likely switching to Framework with windows soon)

KDE Neon. It's Ubuntu LTS with the latest KDE development stuff.

I generally dislike Ubuntu because they have some really odd breakages and bad defaults, but Debian just gets too out of date eventually. I do use Debian for anything that needs Linux and isn't my main desktop, though (and *BSD if it just needs UNIX).

Debian Stable (Bookworm)

Windows 10 as long as possible. I think my hardware may support Windows 11, but there's no benefit to me upgrading until I need to.

Windows, because gaming. Sticking with 10 as long as possible (LTSC), maybe 12 will be worth upgrading to

Windows 11 as my everyday os

But everything around me is Linux (proxmox running Debian LXC) or BSD (opnsense, truenas)

xubuntu cuz im too lazy rn to configure anything else than vim

Debian 12 with GNOME. I'm boring and just want something that works. :)

Windows 10 but I do most of my work in an ubuntu 22.04 VM in virtualbox. But use windows for games and casual use.

Server runs ubuntu 20.04 server which has a bunch of services for my network and my main storage.

Laptop runs ubuntu 22.04 desktop. It's an old laptop so I'm using ubuntu to extend its life.

Linux (Arch).

I can't stand Windows anymore. So much crap that I don't want and can't get rid of.

Windows.. for gaming on my desktop and Photoshop on my laptop.. I know there's alternatives, but not without compromise

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.

Windows 11, but I'm currently playing around with different Linux distros trying to see if I can finally get rid of windows for good.

I use Gentoo because it's quite customizable. What's more, building a whole system from source is more secure😄.

Ubuntu mainly and Windows mainly for streaming. Discord lags for some reason when I stream on Linux. I also have Fedora and Manjaro on my second/third comps but that wasn’t asked..

Arch with i3wm

Ubuntu. For at least a decade now, I'm sure.

Windows, Linux on my servers and Raspberry Pi machines. Linux on desktop is oh-so-close, but it's been oh-so-close since the early 2000s!

Win11 on bare metal (for games) with VMware workstation running Silverblue and Arch in distrobox. Most of my time is spent in VMs when not gaming. Did the dual boot thing for a while but it got annoying.

Q4OS, a very user-friendly Debian-based OS.

Fedora Linux with either Gnome or Sway depending on the device.

Ubuntu at work, Arch at home. Having a linux machine at work has been an incredible upgrade.

Windows 10 Pro, I'm waiting for end of life in a couple of years to migrate to Linux. Depending on how it goes, it'll probably be a one way trip.

I use Kubuntu for the kde plasma desktop. It made the switch from windows much easier. I dual boot and occasionally use windows if I want to play a game which doesn’t have Linux support

Windows 10 but I use WSL for VS code and docker.

I love Linux, 20+ years I’d use, but the desktop experience is inferior to Win/Mac in my opinion. I do hope that changes though.

Windows 10 enterprise msdn. Unfortunately it looks like eol is pretty soon. I'm not liking windows 11 at all. Surprisingly this time pro and enterprise have the same eol dates, or have I read it wrong. Microsoft usually supports enterprise for a bit longer.

LTSC is to 2027 but I think there maybe some compatibility issues as it's not really designed for being a desktop OS. Might give that a whirl a bit later.

Slackware Linux currently

Debian Unstable on my laptops and desktop, Debian Stable on my server, Windows 10 is dual booted on my desktop for gaming.

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.

Fedora, used Arch for many years but decided to try it out and have really enjoyed it. After Red Hats RHEL decisions I might swap to arch or nix os.

My partner and I have been on Manjaro for 3 years and never looked back

MacOS Ventura

My desktop runs Linux (Ubuntu), and I have a Win 10 and a MacOS virtual machine on it for when those are needed. I also have a Windows 11 laptop that's nearly also "main" because I do need to be mobile a lot. Increasingly, RDC from my desktop to the laptop is replacing the VM. I have spent a lot of time trying to set them both up to be able to do anything I need to do on either machine, but I greatly prefer my desktop when I'm in my office because I built it for myself for my birthday and it's kind of overpowered. 😁

I've been using Windows 11 and Ubuntu with dual boot on my laptop, but a few days ago I tried Linux Mint, and it's awesome. Now I plan to switch from Ubuntu to Linux Mint.
