Mint
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
Currently Linux Mint 21, using MATE as my desktop environment.
Fedora Linux Workstation.
It’s great for almost everything. The only thing I’m not super happy with is the file manager, Nautilus. Its WebDAV support is too buggy.

Bazzite for personal/gaming, currently Arch for my work install. Will be migrating to Aurora-DX for work one of these upcoming weekends. I still have Windows for the occasional game that doesn't quite work right under Proton and for my VR headset which requires Windows Mixed Reality 🤮. Don't do VR much, so it's quite rare that I boot it up.

So, a bit of a list...
Personal desktop: endeavour, though I may go back to Debian. I've been using Debian for so long that nothing else feels right, that's a me thing. Endeavour is pretty great.
Work laptop: Windows 11 (stripped down since I have admin rights), unavoidable do to some software I need to run sometimes.
Testing/builds for iOS: M2 Mac Mini
Servers: proxmox, running windows VMs for software I need for work I can rdp into, various Debian LXC's, some Oracle, RHEL, and Debian for work stuff, and occasionally random distros I want to check out.
Edit: Forgot one unique, a 13ish year old Mac mini I picked up for free (bound for recycling) that's just a glorified way to run gcompris for my kids. Straight Debian stable.
sounds fire tbh
My setup is pretty much the same as yours, only I use Linux mint for my daily runner laptop.
I am definitely thinking it's about time for a change though so I might give endeavor a try.
It's been overall positive, I like it, honestly my main reason to go back to Debian is it's like second nature to me. I've literally had Debian somewhere in my setup since the late 90s, probably around 2.1 I'd say.
Overall Endeavour feels like a great daily driver, I just can't tell you how many times I've had to stop myself as I typed in 'apt' or 'dpkg'.
Definitely a distribution worth checking out though!
I still run Windows 10 on my laptop. I have a few specialty apps that still require it, but I expect to switch to Linux rather than Windows 11. I also run a household server on Ubuntu Linux.
fedora.
Windows 11. It sucks but I have apps that don't run on Linux, and there simply aren't any alternatives. I dual boot Kubuntu on my laptop and Kubuntu is great. I just wish software compatibility is better
honestly same

I use openSUSE as a system and then your usual programs like firefox, steam, vlc, strawberry, discord (sadly), freetube, etc.
Debian Linux.
Windows 10 for now. When they EoL it I'll switch to a Linux distro. Not sure what yet. I really like PopOS on my Surface because the gnome interface works well, but I think I'll go with something built with KDE for my desktop
you want a easy to use distro or a distro that requires some tinkering to get stuff working
Tbh I prefer something easy because I'm lazy, but I'm perfectly comfortable with something that requires tinkering. Had to do plenty of that on my Proxmox homelab
if easy then prob linux mint,ubuntu (donno i heard they shove snaps in your face)

Dual booting NixOS and Windows 11 on my desktop, macOS on my laptop.
I’d get rid of Windows if it wasn’t for some games that are annoying on Linux.

Kubuntu 24.04. When 24.10 is out I'll switch to it (usually a week or two later because I'm lazy and don't feel like rebooting). I've got two desktops and two laptops running that. Then there's the HTPC which also running Kubuntu with font scaling set real high to make it easy to read stuff from the couch (that includes Firefox with lots of GUI scaling changes; uBlock Origin makes it a fantastic anime watching station 👍).
Mine and my daughter's phones have KDE Connect so we can control the HTPC without having to get up to get the wireless mouse/keyboard 😁
The three Raspberry Pis in my house are all running the latest Raspbian image.
My wife's laptop is a Chromebook.
Fedora

OpenSUSE on my desktop, Fedora Silverblue and OpenBSD on my laptop
