Both. I have a desktop running Ubuntu (though I am strongly considering switching to debian) I use that for most computer related tasks and activities. I also have a gaming laptop running windows I dig out for some VR (it has a better gpu) and professional gigs like design or video editing.

I would install linux on the laptop, but I can't live without a few programs I have never successfully gotten running under linux (Resolve and the affinity suite). I could dual boot my desktop into rock linux (which is the only "official" resolve distro) and try to get affinity running under wine. I have been out of work for a few years though, so removing windows from the laptop isn't a high priority.
