I do agree that you should use whatever system you want.
But I will admit that a lot of tutorials/training/whatever completely assume you have a MacBook. When I started looking at Docker the tutorial I was following said "Install NPM via terminal" and I was sat dumbfounded, now having to Google what NPM and whatever the terminal was.
I really wish it was easier for everyone to have a similar environment to learn on.
Really good point! Though now thankfully you can install npm just as easily on a Windows machine (the only error in that tutorial is saying 'terminal.' In fact I recently wrote a CLI tutorial for people in just this situation :) dev.to/heroku/the-cli-for-beginner...
