Laptop: Windows 10 ( Wish to have linux, but drivers were giving me a bad time even though it camevwith Ubuntu installed)
Production servers: All CentOS 6 except one which is on CentOS 7.
Non-production servers are either running on Debian 6 (mostly) or Ubuntu 14.04.
Cellphone: Android Lollipop 5.0.1 (I usually try new custom ROM every another week).
Disappointing to see so many mature people use Windows 10. Its a shitty botnet and trojan horse. I upgraded my Windows 7 install to Windows 10[to check what is new] and reverted back to 7. It corrupted my previous Windows 7 installation. After it screwed up everything, I went back to Xubuntu 14.04 Used to have overheating problems before with Hybrid Graphics, now it seems to be fixed with Dynamic Power Management: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Dynamic_power_management
Xubuntu 14.04 is pretty good compared to other Ubuntu derivatives. Light on resources and smooth!
Servers: Usually Debian/ Ubuntu
Android: AOSP 5.1.1 or Cyanogenmod 12.1
I also went win 8>10 and regretted. Fortunately someone wanted to buy my laptop and so it went.
Explain with valid reasons if possible.

Tried it, nice looks and all, was a hit with some people looking to switch from windows, but, even opensuse seems snappier, maybe it is my bargain bin hardware or I was unlucky, with xfce4 is still lagging.
It is less buggy Ubuntu
Since I use Ubuntu from 9.04 on work laptops I cannot get used to Precise "new big button" interface back then and switch gnome old-desktop, but Ubuntu continue to be buggy (for me), so I do the Mint switch and never look back...
Try Mint with Cinnamon I have no issues with it... I used to get comfortable to has more space at my screen than have top and bottom menus
if xfce is lagging try Lubuntu
CentOS 6.6, CentOS 7.1, Windows 2008 R2 Desktop Edition for servers
Desktop: Dual-Boot between Ubuntu 15.04 and Windows 10 Pro 64Bit. Server: Ubuntu 14.04 64Bit.
On Mint?
Maybe you mean fluxbox or something.
I did a DSL on an 128 CF card and that was damn fast in 1 GB ram and with a VIA c7-800Mhz, so fast was unreal.
LXDE + Ubuntu = Lubuntu. But i was playing with all DE and various distros. For my laptop i found out that only mate desktop runs smooth, others were lagging. So i stick with arch + mate.
Servers: Debian
Laptop/Desktop: OS X
I RDP into my Windows VMs if I can't run something or I need to move around a lot of files at 1Gbps.
