FWIW Linux 100%.

I had a Windows machine at work and while WSL is headed in the right direction it's still hit or miss IMO. Plus if you are in a corporate environment there may be issues out of your control in regards to antivirus and what version of Windows you are on... (it will probably be awhile before they roll out the latest Windows w/WSL2 in our office)

I then switched to Mac thinking it would be better but it's honestly just a different set of problems :)

At home I have been using Linux for a long time and maybe I'm jaded but I just don't have any issues with the latest distros. Most things run in browser these days, for dev work it's all in Docker and if I need Windows I can easily crank up a VM.
