Any Linux distribution that allows you to install the development tools that you need.

Great ! So you don't need anything specifically?

No.
You have a lot of distributions to choose from. A majority of them will work well for doing development. I recommend using one of the major Linux distributions that have been around for a while.

Also , Is their anything in particular that makes these less optimal to use for development. Eg: no support for a certian format ?

Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, LinuxMint, MX Linux, Pop!_OS, etc should be okay.

None are less optimal for development. You just need to select the distribution and desktop (KDE, Xfce, Gnome, etc) you like best.
