    Windows crashes very frequently and the error is not easy to debug most of the time. You may need to restart the computer ( and you will get used to it ). Plus, Microsoft support forum sucks and takes a long time to answer just one question. It obviously isn’t a good environment for coding.

    Linux, on the other hand, is far easier to debug and Linux professionals can help you with that.

    Most of the open-sourced softwares are Linux compatible, so that will be very helpful for coding.

        Why would you browse (if using win) Microsoft support forums while programming? Obviously it's for hardware/software related issues, not much tied to your coding environment.

        It is related to your coding environment. The term environment not only includes code editor and shell, but also the OS running those software, and the OS should be stable for a good coding experience.

        Why I have to ask professionals for help in the first place? If I need help from 3rd party people in order to fix a bug in my app because of OS issues then something is very wrong.

        You mean you don't care what caused the crash and just restart your computer each time it happens? Isn't that too inefficient?

        Environment is how you make it. For example you can use PowerShell both on Linux and windows. The only difference is that some apps are not there by default or are unavailable and you have to look for alternatives. So there's no problem in setting a whole environment from ground up on LFS if you know what you're looking for. It's all about making yourself feel in home.

        Windows users will just stick with Windows not knowing how good Linux is. I feel sorry for them trying to get used to all the inconveniences.
