I think it vastly depends on what you are doing.
While you can do everything in one OS I think they shine in totally different directions.
If you are doing backend or devops linux is the way to go.
Everything is a 'apt install' away and docker support is way better than in windows. (git too?!) As someone else stated WSL2 should fix this issues (especially with big volumes) but is still in beta.
On the other hand if you are doing frontend and ux design I think MacOS and Windows are the way to go.
They just have way more software for this purpose even though I have heard that Photoshop and AdobeIlustrator cross-platform alternatives nowadays are getting better.
