The error you're encountering is because the x variable is initially taken as a string when you use the input() function.
Even if you used float(x) in while float(x), because float returns a value, it does not assign the value to the variable specified as a parameter.

try

x = input("Whats your favourite number? ")

while float(x) > 1:
    x = float(x) - 1
    print(x)

or

x = float(input("Whats your favourite number? "))

while x > 1:
    x = x - 1
    print(x)

or

x = float(input("Whats your favourite number? "))

while x > 1:
    x -= 1
    print(x)

Check this

while True:
    try:
        x = float(input("What's your favorite number? "))
        if x <= 1:
            print("Number, bigger than 1, please.")
            continue
        break
    except:
        print("Number, please.")

while x > 1:
    x -= 1
    print(round(x, 3))
