Windows 10 because I don't want to deal with the hassle of anything else.

Yes and I won't "upgrade" to Win11 for as long as possible. The computers at work have been changed to Win11 and for every single thing I find to be neat, I immediately (or delayed) find fifteen little things that annoy me.

So far, I have found one or two things that are neat about Win11

I'm lucky in that my computer thinks it's too old (built in 2018) to run Win 11 so they aren't hassling me about upgrading anymore like they did with Win 10.

Same here. I won't move to 11 until I absolutely have to.

And also because I grew up using Windows, and it's the operating system that I am by far the most comfortable with. I'm just used to how everything in Windows works.

I've tried to use a couple of different Linux distros- I tried Ubuntu, and Debian, and one other I can't remember. None of them felt as intuitive, none of them had all of the programs that I use every day, and it was just harder to do stuff on it. I work with linux (headless) every day because I do software development, but for my PC I just don't want all the hassle of having to do so much manually.

And Mac is just right out (although I do use it for work because I don't have a choice).
