Hey everyone 👋,
Just wanted to ask a quick but important question:
In your opinion, which operating system is the best for developers — macOS, Windows, or Linux?
I'm curious to know:
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Let’s discuss in the comments. 👇

pretty cool seeing everyone pick their own side tbh - for me it always ends up being about what just helps me stay in flow, not fancy features. you ever feel like the biggest switch is usually just about wanting a change instead of needing it?
Totally agree @nathan_tarbert — staying in flow beats fancy features any day.
Sometimes a switch is just about refreshing your mindset.
I use Windows. I will not give my money to Apple. THEY CROSSED A LINE. And I really have no reason to use Linux right now.
Understandable @gamelord2011 ! Out of curiosity, what line do you feel Apple crossed?
They charge you $99/year to have access to xCode, swift's docs are HORRIBLE, and they are letting cruddy apps by big companies in, while good apps by other devs are rejected for no reason.
Fair points @gamelord2011 . Have you tried cross-platform tools like Flutter (@google) instead?
Might help skip some of the Apple ecosystem frustration.
Pretty cool seeing how fired up people get over their OS picks - I always end up bouncing between them tbh, each one just has its thing.
True @nevodavid ! OS-hopping is part of the dev journey.
Each one scratches a different itch.
Absolutely @csm18 ! Mint feels like home for anyone coming from Windows or macOS.
Love that it's lightweight, open source, and beginner-friendly.
Linux. 90% of the software you use is OSS, and you get to actually interact with your system without the hand-holding provided by Microsoft. Even if you aren't a developer, a distro like Mint is very similar to Windows (and funny enough, I've been working on a video about this.).
Totally agree @kurealnum — Linux gives you real control and teaches you so much about the system.
Also, super excited to hear you’re working on a video about Mint! If it’s out already, drop the link — can’t wait to watch it!
I use Linux for development and Windows for testing—curious to know if anyone else uses multiple OSes for different tasks too?
