In my opinion and experience, Linux,
Linux has a lots of tools for development, project environments are easy to configure. It is better than Windows (Don't take it personally), I find it hard to configure my project setup in windows while on linux. It's just a minute or second and you can go with the development. Linux has large community and lots tutorials out there. The things I like about linux are: It is fast in terms of installing packages and dependencies using command line. Lots of distros are out there where you can choose your preference. Distros that has linux kernel inside, offers long term support for their users. Yeah, that are least I can site for what I love about linux. On the other hand, macOs is out there. Yes I know, macOs is like linux with fancy graphical user interface. But I prefer linux distros with simplicity or I can say any distro that is powered by linux. I tried to be comfortable with macOs, but it lack something I used to when I'm using linux. Many people said linux do not support gaming. Don't believe them, linux is just getting better. Try Steam on linux, it's awesome. I just want to site a thing why I use mac rarely, I just use it because mac is the only unit where you can build iOS and macOs application. Oh, wait I just forget to say something on windows, windows is starting to love linux because it is far way better than them.

Linux is getting better and far way better than others.
