Windows 10 primarily due to work requirements. I have a laptop with Xubuntu for personal use.
I duel boot. I use Mint 99% of the time & Win10 for that 1% of software/games I can't get working.
Fedora Workstation. Everything just works out of the box, even AAC codec with Bose headphone.

Linux openSUSE
As a webdev, I'm loving Win11 with WSL2. The new Terminal is great and Powertools make organizing windows on my ultrawide easy. I've had to use exclusively Macs for a while for my last company and was not really a fan.

I use Garuda Gnome Linux. It's setup nearly how I would set up an arch install from scratch, just working out of the box. I've done a lot of distro hopping in the past year, but I keep going back to Garuda.
Heavy gamer here. My main Distro is EndeavourOS, came from Linux Mint months ago. My homelab runs on Ubuntu Server.

Linux (Arch with KDE Plasma)
Windows 10 on my main machine and Lubuntu on my home server
NetBSD :)
Windows 11. I'd love to switch to Linux but I have a few edge cases that keep me from doing that right now. I made the mistake of buying Forza Horizon 5 on the Windows store instead of steam. I know I can move my save over to the steam version and rebuy it, but I got the premium version and have no idea what DLC I need to buy again when I look at the store page. And I have an oculus quest which I use with Oculus Link to play PCVR games. There's ALVR to do it on Linux, but compared to link it's not going to cut it for me. Once I have a new VR headset (AKA when valve replaces the Index) and Forza horizon 6 is out/5 is EOL I'm more than happy to make the jump.
We have very similar stories!
Windows 10 Home
Manjaro Linux, also for my gaming. Booted up my secondary Windows drive yesterday on my main computer, just to update it.
Windows 10
EndeavourOS on my desktop and Pop!_OS on my laptop (it's a System76 laptop).
I have dual boot Manjaro/Windows, but honestly I haven't used the windows partition in two years except for the very occasional moment I need to check if a document format is alright to send to someone, or anyone else not familiar with Linux needs to do something.

Windows 11
Pop!_OS for desktop, FreeBSD for server
Win 11 because of games, music production and other windows-only tools (TIHI). Some flavor of Debian everywhere else.
Fedora, pretty much everything I want from a Linux distro and desktop OS, fits my needs perfectly and what I would recommend most people.
Just installed Fedora Kinoite. I'm running immutably now
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.
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!

Linux Mint with KDE Plasma.
My main gaming PC is Windows 10. Other devices have varying flavors of Ubuntu Linux.
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"

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.

Fedora
EndeavourOS
Rocking Endeavour OS right now. It's been working well for me so far.
Main PC is Win 10 for gaming and audio production. MacOS for work.
Kubuntu FTW
Arch Linux with Openbox
Nixos on my PC, NixOS on my laptop, NixOS on my raspberry pi
Also steamOS on my steam deck , don't see any reason to change that
I also have windows dual booted on my laptop as a secondary os but I boot it around once every couple weeks at most
Linux Mint. When it first came out, it was the first distro where sound and wifi worked out of the box on fresh installations by shipping with restricted drivers. It made installations so easy that I just stopped trying other distros.
