I believe operating systems don't matter that much anymore. When you buy a computer, just use what's on it. When you are looking for servers, go for cloud and build on containers. Let hardware and OS be someone else problem 😉
When you are new to coding focus on how to write good code and work effectively. But don't waste your time with installing your own OS.
Huh, weird to hear "when you buy a computer, just use what's on it" and "let hardware and OS be someone else problem" in that case, we Linux users have a long list of issues with computers not coming with our preferred OS and hardware not available/poorly supported due to corporate policy. But I guess I get much more annoyed than you by that :P
To be honest, I have gone through installing Linux myself many years and I have used a Mac in the past as well.
I find Linux important. But things have changed (WSL 2 on Windows, VS Code devcontainers, k8s, AWS Lambda) and installing an operating system and dealing with hard ware problems is nothing developers need to know anymore 😉
I am passionate about providing value with programming. I use Go, Test-Driven Development, and SDLC methodologies to do this. I focus on empathy, honing current skills, and filling in gaps to improve.

Let me guess: you are on Mac, right?
No, I am using a Linux laptop myself.

I bought a laptop designed for Linux.

Sweet laptops. And with Coreboot incoming :)
How do you like it? I was looking at System76s Laptops for personal use.
It is nice and does its job. The quality is great.
