Although Windows is the most popular among developers it lacks certain things. I in no way is saying that windows is bad. Just that Linux and Mac Os do things in a faster way and work out of the box. For example, when I have a Windows computer I would have to go and install WSL but I can open the terminal and start working. That might now seem big but there a lot of other things where you need to install third-party applications for. While on Linux I can just launch terminal. There is this quote I really like: "Microsoft gives windows, while Linux gives you the whole house". Now after saying all this Windows just does some things better than other OS.
