Built myself a PC for this express purpose, but have been getting bored with videogames lately.

PC only when I game. I never really got in to concole gaming apart from a couple of brief stints with a PS1 and an XBox.
Originally it was because I played a lot of flight Sims and then RPGs like Baldurs' Gate which didn't work for concole due to all the buttons needed.
PC and PS5. Bought an Ultrawide monitor at one point last year and that's been a little bit of a game changer for me so I'm pretty entrenched as a PC main.
My PS5 lives in the living room and my wife uses it more than I do, but God of War made that purchase all the way worth it for me with how much I enjoyed that game haha.
In order of frequency: Steam Deck, Switch, PC (linux)
Xbox One used to get some use, but not much anymore. Now and then I'll pull out the NES, Genesis or Intellivision for some retro gaming.
Steam Deck, Linux Desktop, Windows Laptop, sometimes on Nintendo Switch with friends.
Just PC, emulation all the way up to PS3 and Switch is so good, I don't really see a need for any console for me since I have so many games that I've never had the opportunity to play when I was younger.

I mainly play on my desktop PC, which dual boots Windows and Arch (obligatory I use Arch BTW) though I do have an Xbox One that I used to use before I got into PC gaming.
I also have a Nintendo Switch, which I primarily picked up because I tend to have a lot of hospital stays and it makes things a bit easier during those trips.
Finally, I also have an older MacBook Pro that runs Fedora on it, which I don't use too much (and certainly not for gaming) but it's there in case I need it!
Steam Deck, PC, PS5, Switch, Android, SBC handhelds. Pretty much anything I can game on I do to some degree.
desktop running Void Linux, though considering grabbing a Steam Deck at some point
PS5, Xbox Series X occasionally, and Nintendo Switch for Mario and Zelda games. I’ve considered a Steam Deck too. But my primary is PlayStation.
My gaming desktop PC is my primary gaming rig. I run linux on there and its honestly been great, I've been really happy with my 7900XTX and it plays all games I want at 4K. My steam deck is a close second for portable/sofa gaming.
I mostly use my Linux Mint PC and the family Nintendo Switch. I also have a PS5 and a 3DS which get occasional use.
Mostly my computer, but I've also got my PS3 beside me on the desk. For the whole family to use elsewhere is a PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch, and Wii U together, and yonder elsewhere is a PS2, N64, and a Sega Genesis. Sounds like a lot, and I also think we oughta slim that down. Too much stuff that not enough of us use to justify it.
I was always a big Xbox gamer, but after I got an Xbox Series X and found that the games I play have almost no online users. So I got a PS5 and turned off my Xbox, its a whole level above Xbox.
I do some gaming on Linux (Stellaris, Crusader Kings, Endless Space 2) for strategy games.
Right now I'm mainly gaming on my Switch for Nintendo first-party games, and Steam Deck for most of the rest. I have a Linux workstation that has an RX6600, so I use that for the more demanding titles, or when I just want keyboard/mouse.
I have a PC and a Nintendo Switch I swore I was gonna use when TOTK until giving myself a heaping backlog to get through on my pc before I start a new game anywhere- so the switch gathers dust still.
I play mostly on my Switch, because my PC (laptop running Ubuntu, though I plan to switch to Arch when I find the time) isn't very strong.
Though, I do also play go on my PC, and rarely other games.
Mostly PC, but I recently pulled my Switch out again and have been playing on that lately.
PC most of the time. Currently running Arch Linux and loving it. I still have a Windows 10 partition just to run BlazBlue: Centralfiction because it doesn't recognize a 2nd controller so I can't play local multiplayer. Aside from that, couldn't be more happy with Linux.
PC mainly, but a couple months ago I got a Steamdeck, and I can now play from the couch on the TV.
I've wanted to be able to play from the couch for a long time, but I did not want a PC on the TV, so this is a very good option.
I can play casually and also play coop sometimes easily.
Most importantly, I don't have to be in my "office" room, since I work from home, it is good to be away from the room I am all day working on.
Some Lenovo desktop I got on sale at Costco in December. Was waffling between AMD and Intel (GPU is Nvidia 3060), went with Intel because all my research indicated it was better performing at the price than Ryzen, but I have no idea if my use case makes a difference. I am still using a 27'' 1080p monitor I got probably 10 years ago.
Immediately put Linux on it without ever booting into Windows. I tried to get Fedora and Pop OS working, but for some strange reason it did not work. Ended up going with MX Linux, which I love.
Wii/GameCube for me (also PC just for Slippi)
PC for modern games. Home made arcade cabinet for roms.
I have a series X and a midrange pc.
The pc has ryzen 5 3600 or 3500 I don't remember :p a gtx 1660 super and 16gb of memory.
Mainly PC or Switch. I was PS4 all last gen but switched to PC due to Sony's scummy practices. I also had a Deck briefly but the subpar hardware wasn't very enjoyable.
PC mostly but I also have a hacked ps4 pro which is still pretty fun ,I had a series X but ended up selling it since I rarely used it
Up until recently I was using my steamdeck for the majority of my gaming due to it being faster than my PC and, but since then I've changed careers and work from home now so I've built myself a new Linux PC and use that for the majority of my gaming.
PC and Switch, nowadays mostly PC tho, both on my laptop(which has mostly replaced what I did with my switch) and my desktop.
I primarily play games on PC. I have a Switch that I use every once in a while, and I recently bought a Retroid pocket 3+ for emulating games on a handheld.
my current setup is a System76 Galago Pro laptop with a Logitech Gamepad F310. i'm really happy with my laptop, it's lightweight but still packs a Nvidia GTX 1650, an i7, and 16 GB of RAM. it runs Fedora Linux, but compatibility is mostly a non-issue since i get my games through Steam and Steam Play is pretty dang good nowadays. the Logitech Gamepad i use is also good, only cost me $20 and has everything you might expect from a controller except for haptics
PS5, though I'll probably end up getting a switch still. Probably right before Nintendo unveils a new console...
Mostly PC, I have a PS5/PS4, switch, and xbox series as well. The xbox is basically collecting dust as most games that come out there are also on PC. The PS5 gets some use when there's an exclusive and the switch is somewhere.... I just don't know where.... Maybe in the couch?
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!
