Between 1998 and 2005 I used to hop distros quite regularly. After 2005 I stuck with Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu for about 12 years. Occasionally during that period I would swap hardrives and install something else for brief periods, but I always ran one of the Ubuntu flavors on the regular. Since 2017 I run Debian on one machine and Arch on the other. If I experiment with other distros, its always in a VM.

Got EOS on my Desktop, which also has a Windows 11 VM.
Macos on laptop and Fedora in WSL at work.
Besides Endeavour, LMDE6 is on my laptop. Keeps me happy
Desktop: Void
Laptop: Void
VM: EndeavourOs
I am not really a distro hopper, but I like to test new things for time to time. Like Voidlinux was only a test at beginning, but now it has been my main thing for 9 months. 
i have 1 laptop only and only 1 distro on it at a time
not even VM would work on this ancient piece of art lol
currently ,EOS of course

I always marvel at how few attempt to tweak Alpine Linux to their will… 'tis a wonderful challenge.
I ran a desktop on Alpine for a little while…yes, it was quite a challenge, more so than any other I remember fighting.
Alpine takes the claimed objective of arch (build your own desktop of the essential parts ‘you want’…) to it’s logical extreme.
Interestingly enough, Nabu Casa chose to use Alpine as their “Home Assistant OS”:
$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Alpine Linux"
ID=alpine
VERSION_ID=3.21.3
PRETTY_NAME="Alpine Linux v3.21"
HOME_URL="https://alpinelinux.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues"
Probably because it’s the lightest environment I have used recently.

That is not surprising. Alpine is most commonly used in embedded environments and containers.
It is made to be a lightweight core.

On the same machine, 1. On all machines combined, 3 but soon to be 4.
I have been trying to learn Linux, so I’m installing it on as many machines as possible. I currently have 2 running the same distro and 2 more running different distros and another laptop on its way that I will be putting yet another on. Plus the wife and son each have 2 machines I will likely convert around Christmas or by this time next year. And if it works out, another 2 for myself by that time…
Arch, Fedora, Debian.

Lots of VM’s though.
I use VMs, but I never really feel like I get the flavor of the distro in a VM. I guess they are enough to let me know if it’s worth a second look though.

I only do it to keep up on installs and to see progress of things like gnome or cosmic or Mint.
I don’t change my actual computer hardly ever anymore. The more I do this, the happier I am on debian and things being nice and boring.
I just couldn’t…I get too much unholy joy out of seeing packages updated and new features added,etc. Debian would suck all the joy out. Though I might feel differently if I weren’t retired and have plenty of time 
I only use EOS, but I have a nspawn Debian at the ready
I enjoy it playing games and such more than updating these days. It only took like a decade.

I have one. Gentoo.
I don’t see the point of having multiple distros installed, sort of seems redundant.
I concur. Wholeheartedly.
