Windows 10 for my main desktop, Windows 11 on my laptop, and work desktop.
I love Linux, it's a great OS but it has a lot of usability issues alongside corporations that won't support it. GamePass and Visual Studio are the two major things I use on Windows that don't have any ability to run on Linux.
Because I know people are going to ask, the usability issues on Linux have been:
Fedora Linux: Mouse settings didn't work (sensitivity and acceleration), updating the OS bricked the boot because I had the Nvidia proprietary drivers installed and the update didn't account for that.
Manjaro: Worked great but still had the same mouse issues where I couldn't update sensitivity and setting the profile to "flat" to remove mouse acceleration didn't actually remove mouse acceleration.
In General: I've found Linux to contain a level of jank that Windows just doesn't have. It still needs a good bit of polish. Linus Tech Tips did a Linux Desktop trial for a week and documented a lot of unpolished bits.
I look forward to the day that Linux has become more polished.
