    Terminal 😀
    Linux terminal is far better than Windows powershell or CMD

    Package managers, cli, customization options, lots of free software (free like free speech not like free beer), pre-installed vim, awesome community

    OK but I feel like getting to know all the commands I need sometimes is a little bit irritating @arvind1705 I have used Ubuntu to practice but always fin windows more comfortable so I'm looking for strong reasons to switch my development environment to Ubuntu

    If you find windows more comfortable then there are no advantages.

    Developing is possible on Windows, but it's easier and more enjoyable on Linux. Everything just works together better -- and sanely.

    Looking at it another way: Should you brush your hair with part of a pine tree, or with a styling brush? The former will work, if not particularly well, while the second is designed for it.

    ------
    I considered using "cactus" (painful) or "cpu" (expensive) in place of the pine tree option.

    It really depends per person, I prefer windows for application/game dev, but for webdev I prefer Linux

    @Torbuntu maybe I will give a try (again) then. @Root perhaps I'll use it as guest OS in my former installation (w10). I will do it tomorrow.
