    If you are developing for Windows, Windows; if you are developing for Linux, then Linux.

    Welcome!

    I use both.
    Linux for python.
    Windows for just about everything else.

    @linuxxx Then you are most likely developing for Linux. (Unless you're in .Net land or doing frontend work).

    Proprietary garbage limits your freedom. Use Linux

    Windows for job (all our clients are on windows, it's just easier for desktop apps. Cross compiling is dark magic)
    Linux for fun at home.

    Tools. They both serve their purpose and I put them both to good use every day.

    I use Windows for everything else. I use Linux to show off to my friends.

    Unless your using .Net I would highly recommend being in a Linux or Mac environment.

    Win for .NET, Linux for C and the rest. Always trying to make all my code work on both

    I actually use both if there is versions on both distributions of my IDE.

    Why?

    Hmmmm
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Guess I like both

    Depends on what you developing.

    @Kimmax There is VS for Mac preview so maybe they'll make it for linux too and then take over the world!

    Also I don't know why people think Microsoft hates Linux...After all there is Azure... I' m sure that in 2024 there is going to be only .net core (or mostly) and VS for Linux

    Depends on what and for what you're developing for.
    If your target OS is Windows, use Windows.
    You can't use Linux for developing Windows apps.
