"Main" as in what's getting the most use as a desktop environment? Sadly, Windows. Because I haven't rebuilt my workstation yet, and it's the only OS that'll run properly on the cheap box I bought as a media center for my television.
"Main" as in what do I deal with at work? Windows, because it's what's paying my bills to support.
But in terms of quantity overall (and excluding the 'desktop' requirement), I'm majority Linux of one flavour or another.

Like others have said, depends on what "main" mean (Score:1)
Main as in most screen time - Linux because it powers our home theatre and it's pretty much always on if someone is home (mostly used for music streaming and watching videos)
Main as in what I use at work - it's a tie between WIndows (my gaming PC now also used for work when I WFO) and Mac (work laptop) apparently my company will remove the BYOD policy so I will go back to Mac only
Main as in personal usage - also a tie between Windows (same gaming PC mentioned above) and Mac (personal laptop) - it all depend

But that would show how much readership has fallen off a cliff...

I run Linux Mint of my laptop I keep in the living room. Windows 10 on the desktop in my work area. I spend more time on the laptop.
