I use Unraid as my host OS with a Windows 11 gaming vm. If you say at my computer you would never know it's not native. I can shutdown/reboot windows and it doesn't affect any of my home server applications, including a mastodon instance.
This sounds pretty rad. Can you point me to some docs for getting started with this myself?
Edit: I looked up Unraid. It looks like it is a commercial product. Do you pay for it?
If you're interested in the virtualization angle, I can't recommend ProxMox highly enough. It's insanely slick and powerful, and totally open source. It doesn't handle file sharing well natively, but you can easily spin up a file server VM. It can also do GPU passthrough, though it does require a little bit of fanangling in the terminal.

Debian 12 with KDE Plasma, works perfectly on every system I have thrown at it.

Arch & Windows 10 on my desktop, OpenSuse Tumbleweed on the laptop.
Kubuntu 22.04 on my laptop & Ubuntu Mate 22.04 on my desktop/server.
Arch right now. Probably going to give NixOS a try in the near future though.
Fedora and Debian Linux.
Windows 10 on my main computer, Mint on my HTPC which is getting a lot more use.
Windows because of work and most of my steam games ran like crap on kubuntu with proton making them unplayable
Arch Linux. I also dual boot Windows 10 but 99% of my uptime is on Arch.
macOS HighSierra
Windows 11 on my main Desktop, mainly because anti cheat. Debian on my Raspberry Pi. And SteamOS obviously on my Steam Deck.
macOS Ventura on the Studio and the MBP work machines and Windows 11 Pro on the living room gaming tower.
Win10 so I can play heavily modded skyrim
work and gaming Windows laptop macOS
Ubuntu
Windows cause I wanna play games with friends without crap going more wrong than usual
OpenSuse Tumbleweed
The last version of Windows I used on a computer I owned / own is 3.1. Iโve been on MacOS ever since and will continue to be for as long as Iโm able.
I used to have strong opinions about operating systems. Installed various Linux builds and boot loaders to run different OS's. Etc
Now I use windows. I can't even tell you what version without looking. 10 I guess? Windows finally "just works" and I haven't had a BSOD in forever so I really don't care.
Windows 10 Pro on my main desktop but I do have an old laptop now running Zorin OS Lite which I use mostly when I'm on vacation or taking a long train.
Windows 11 on my gaming rig, macOS for all other computing tasks. If I could reliably game on a Mac with good quality, I would. I did some Linux gaming for awhile and was really glad that it had come a long way, but I like not having to think about any kind of technical troubleshooting (usually) when gaming on Windows. And the overall usability of a unix OS is hard to beat.
Fedora kinoite/silverblue
Windows 11 is my newest "main" computer. I also just got a nice Win 11 laptop for my new business.
Though my "working" IT laptop boots with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.
Windows on PC for gaming, Linux on work laptop for development
Linux - from 2009 (laptop Arch + Sway / PC Endeavour OS and dual boot Kde and Gnome and rooted phone from 2010, from 2022 grapheneos. Privacy, security and freedom is most important for me.
Windows 10 unfortunately. Will go back to Linux some day but I can't be bothered at the moment.
Windows 11 on my desktop to game on and Ubuntu (Prefer Linux Mint though) on my laptop as a self-hosted server.
EndeavourOS, it's based on Arch Linux.
Alpine Linux on most of my servers, if want something else for some reason Ubuntu.
I use TUXEDO OS 2 on my new Tuxedo Infinitybook S15. I can tell it's quite good!
Desktop is Win 10, laptop is mint.
Windows. It is the only machine that uses this operating system.
Solus Plasma, nothing really gives me such a home. I tried others but nope
