I am curious. Why the other Linuxes? (Linii?) I know people do that -- but I never knew why. I just settle on one for a bit, then hop away when I get in a mood.
Different distros have different hardware comparability (esp older hardware) and different maintenance requirements. Arch requires an update, check on arch page for further requirements, and possible follow up, as well as updates to AUR packages which are git based. Other distros are often "click update in GUI and forget". So for your main driver, maybe you're happy to do the extra work. But maybe not on other devices with varying hardware.

Arch and Android
Windows 10 Pro
sure its still supported
Kubuntu, planning to switch to NixOS
Desktop and laptop run Linux Mint, shop tablet turns Fedora Workstation, TV box runs OSMC.
is OSMC like Kodi?
it's a debian distro for raspberry pi that includes Kodi.
oh
I taste the rainbow myself. Here are my PCs and their OS's:
- HP Thin Client t520: Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC IOT with Remote Desktop to my university's AVD instances. May downgrade to 10 IoT due to poor performance
- Gaming PC: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC IOT 21H2
- ThinkPad T480: Windows 10 Pro, may replace with IoT in the future
- Latitude E6420: Linux Mint Debian Edition 6
- iMac 21.5" 2015: Dual boot macOS Ventura and Windows 11
My study is extremely Windows focused (expects use of Microsoft Project, everything submitted in .docx, etc.) and while it isn't impossible to do it without Windows, I also don't want to impede academic progress with macOS or Linux.
However, I have my Latitude which I've been using the most recently for all other study not requiring Windows, and my iMac I got from ewaste for doing anything needing macOS like jail breaking and syncing music to my iPhone 4s
Arch-KDE Plasma and Win11(personal and work respectively) on my desktop. Win10/manjaro on laptop.
I don't suggest arch as a first forray into Linux, requires basic CLI experience for setup and maintenance.

archlinux and planning to install gentoo on my ibm thinkpad soon
Dualboot Linux Mint and Windows 10 on main desktop.
Windows 11 on work laptop
and Xubuntu (i believe) on a cheap laptop i got a few months back for first experimenting w/ linux on
Windows 10, but planning to switch to openSUSE Leap/Tumbelweed (currently running latter on laptop) or alternatively Fedora Atomic after Win10 EOL.
Fedora / Windows 11
I wonder how many updates I'm behind on w11, haven't been there in a spell
PC: Win11
Server: Debian 11 (i think)
Nas: TrueNas
Home: Endeavor OS
Work: Win11 (debloated)
Windows 11, when I have time to install new SSD I plan to dual boot with Linux Mint
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.
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.
