The first real question is if you can permit yourself to run Linux, as many applications require Windows — be it because if legacy, or market share.

MacOS has that too, but in a lesser sense, since it runs many applications suites used in professional settings as well, like Adobe apps, or MS Office.

If you’re doing front-end stuff and have colleagues / clients that used Photoshop or Illustrator, you really can’t afford to be using Linux, sadly.

Aside from those practical concerns, it comes down to personal flavor. Things like ZSH, SublimeText and Firefox are all available on all those systems.
