Bah, I have a lot of gear and chars there, left botland for a long time, though, even the clanhall has been lost.
PC: Win 7 Ultimate 64bit + Kali Linux (Multiboot)
Laptop: Win 7 Pro 32bit + Kali Linux (but right now I'm about to install Win 8.1 64bit + Kali 2.0 on it)
Servers: Debian 7 or Ubuntu 14.04 but got a 3$/m Win VPS running Win Server 2012
That's how it may look like for me when I grew up
(guess you're having this on mutiple screens)
But why are you monitoring this door? Scared of burglars?
+1 for "Familien im Brennpunkt"
And I guess you stream / download Mr. Robot on a legit way?
Windows XP on the desktop (I know, EOL), latest ChromeOS on the Chromebook.

Yes indeed its botland, and these past 2 years i'm only login for chat and some small fun with friends
Been using this beast for almost 5 years now for development. Never had an issue and love Windows 7 for life
For servers, latest debian 64 bit obviously =]
Home desktop: Gentoo
Work desktop: Arch Linux
Servers are mix of Debian and FreeBSD.
Laptops: Windows 7
Servers: Debian 7
Same. Even though people love to talk shit about Microsoft, Windows 7 is great, and so was XP.
I've tried Linux a few times at home, but I can never get it working as smoothly as Windows does.
Debian is king as a server OS though
Isn't Hackintosh a huge PITA? Tried it 2 times or so and dear god, ate up whole weekends but in the end there were always tons of bugs, including freezes and whatnot.
To stay on topic: Windows 10 for Desktop & Laptop, Raspbian for my idling Raspi at home (>400 days uptime, does absolutely nothing though) and CentOS 7 for all my servers. Also having Android on my smartphone.
Currently Windows 10 on PC, OS X Yosemite on Mac and a mix of Ubuntu 14.04 and Debian 7/8 on my servers.
Desktop PC: Windows 10 Pro
Personal Server: Ubuntu
Development Server: Centos and Ubuntu
What do you use? VirtualBox?
Laptop: ChromeOS - rock solid, I can't stand the maintenance for all other OS (like when you install programs and then uninstall them, yet some parts still remain, do that enough times and you need to reinstall the OS or run out of SSD space, same on Windows, same on Mac, same on Linux)
Server 1: boot2docker
Server 2: Proxmox
Server 3: Windows 10 - this is a "just in case" machine if I need something that doesn't work on Linux/ChromeOS, about twice a year may be
So many people still use Windows. Strange!
(My last windows install probably was something like 15 years ago - I don't miss it!).
Debian
all what I need I found in Debian
All My Servers Debian
my home server Debian
my laptop Debian
Slackware
Centos
Debian
Android
Windows 7
Wish more hosts would support Slack. Ah well.
If you have the right hardware - notably a well supported mainboard, best case one of a handful Gigabyte series boards - it installs fine with an installer made by Unibeast (needs a Mac though, VM works), run Multibeast after for audio/network/some other stuff and bam, works.
I have a pretty well supported GB board, Atheros network is broken so i have a cheap Intel card, updates from app store (since 10.10.2 all done this way) and it works just fine (except that upgrades break audio, so run multibeast once more and done)
Main PC: Windows 7
Development VM 1 on main PC: Windows 7
Development VM 2 on main PC: Ubuntu 15.04
Laptop: Windows 7
HTPC: Windows 7
Low-end VPSes: Debian 7
Phone: Android 5.1
Fedora 21 or CentOS 7.
For work, I use primarily Windows 7 and, in some cases, Windows XP (I know it is ancient, but a ready DTP printing system with A3-A2 laser postscript printers with specific drivers or some proffesional unbalanced sound cards from Terratec and Creative cannot be setup properly in 7+...).
And that's the reason I am using for work mostly Windows (I have not switched to 8-10 beacuse 7 is mature enough for the uses I want/need). Software that is being used by me/my co-workers is QuarkXpress, Adobe Suite, Sony Vegas, Edius, Adobe Audigy / CoolEdit Pro, Blue FX etc.
It is sad, but those programs cannot work in Linux (most of them can in Mac but I do not like Apple at all...)
For web purposes (surfing, servers, virtualization, networking, converting, viewers, office etc.) I use mostly Ubuntu and Debian.
In some pc we use in our office for text writing/surfinc/communicate/music etc., I have installed PC-Linux, Anti-X and Lubuntu, all Debian based.
Laptops: xubuntu
Servers: centos
Phones and tablets: android
Oh come on, Familien im Brennpunkt... Really...?
laptop: Lxle and Manjaro
server: Ubuntu 14.04
Yes sir. I don't like Oracle and started to dislike them even more since they bought MySQL (and started to ruin it), but VirtualBox is quite good!
Home PC: Windows 7 w/ Linux Mint VM. Dual booted to a Linux Mint system (if I'm trying to force myself to stay away from H1Z1 and BF).
Laptop: Arch Linux
Home Server: Debian 7 w/ ZFS
All VPSs: Debian 7/8
Work PC: Linux Mint
Work Remote PCs (80 of 212): CentOS 6
Other Work Remote PCs (older 132 of 212): Windows 7
haha, yes, i like to see stupid germans getting paid by RTL to do stupid shit - its actually quite funny if you see its real value, which is zero
openSUSE for all servers.
Windows for general desktop.
openSUSE for work laptop.
For me personally it's almost kinda sad as it's most of the time in North Rhine-Westphalia, which is where I grew up. But other than that I have to agree with your opinion on it.
To get back to the topic:
Laptop: Mac OS X
Desktop: Windows 10
Servers: Ubuntu Server 14.04 (apart from one or two exceptions)
