Example: I like Windows for the games (mostly Steam and Minecraft) and Ubuntu Linux because I used it before I chose to use Windows instead.
Technically, I still use them both as of now.

Mostly Steam and Minecraft
You can literally run both on Linux and it’s just amazing.

Linux (currently Garuda Linux). I can do everything I want on it, including playing all the games I want.
And with the Windows Recall debacle (and make no mistake, it’s not at all gone, it’ll just exist in some different form or name), I am ridding my house of Windows.

I use MXLinux, picked it somewhat at random when I was frustrated with windows 10 privacy settings and haven’t looked back since. I tried mint, mint cinnamon, Ubuntu, and Fedora before MX, and Fedora is the only other one I have stuck with, to use on a Surface Pro (I needed Wayland for the touchscreen).
MX has been really stable, light on resources, and has worked really well through two complete hardware upgrades. I play games on steam, some brand new some old, and I haven’t found one that I can’t play yet. That is due to steam/proton/proton GE more than the OS I expect but I’m happy nonetheless. I also run my home entertainment box on MX on an old PC (I know there are better choices for os for this, I was just comfortable with it).
I like it because I haven’t felt any reason to try anything else, perhaps someday I will and I’ll just find a new OS then, but until then it’s my favorite I think.

Xen / qubes. Gives me the level of control I’ve always wanted and had to fight operating systems for, and never was really sure if I could trust them. Turns out happiness is not trusting anybody

OpenBSD is clean and well thought out.
MS-DOS is simple.

FreeBSD.
I no longer use it but the FreeBSD Handbook is one of the most important books in my life. It got me away from Windows, and pointed me towards open source.
Doing everything in CLI environment made me think about computers and the history of computers differently. It helped me learning Apple OS X and Linux.

MacOS but it was better about 10.6 or so than now…

zorin os for ease of use, qubeos for cool factor, and sourcemage linux for purely geek reasons.

Been using Pop!_OS for a few months now. It’s pretty great (despite its silly name). Haven’t had any issues gaming.
