Windows10 for gaming.
Any version of Ubuntu for (most) of my development
Kali Linux for pen-testing

windows 10 , debian and macos
all are good

Windows 7 since it doesn't have all the extra useless shit that Windows 10 has.

You can strip down Windows 10 using this tool named WinReducer.

In fact, with a compatible version of the tool, you can do the same with previous Windows versions. I've used WinReducer many times on Windows 7 and above and It's a very effective and reliable tool.

A diverse setup dedicated according to usability. I don't come across too many users who segregate their computing to this degree.

Are they running as physical hosts, or are some as guests (VMs)?

Debian: Web Server, and probably main OS.
Ubuntu: Testing and development.
Kali: Having quick access to some pentest tools. Eventually move to Arch with custom tools and stuff.
Windows: More than likely my main OS. I would most likely go with Windows 7, but I think I would do 10 just for the hell of it.
Mac: Testing and development.

Kali linux and Windows 7 any OS that fits for hacking and pentesting

In my notebook i use ubuntu/mint, and in my desktop i use Windows 10 as host and 16 VMs (Linux). To run multiple VMs i have 64GB of RAM.

Ok, I'm curious, what on Earth could you possibly need 16 virtual machines for? And how do you have the system resources for it?

This is one of my virtualization servers (for a business network). It's got a few TB of NVMe storage, and a SSD just to hold the config, 48GB of ECC memory, and 16 cores of 2.93ghz server CPU's...


11 VMs, and a good number of them aren't even running anymore (either deprecated or still being built). So how you need 16 for personal use i dont know...
