I've been using Linux since 2003 for professional purpose. Either graphical production or development production. I totally gave up windows since I had lost weeks of code.Today I run Debian stretch. I do not care about the play button on keyboard or Bluetooth since it is absolutely useless for productivity. You ask if using Linux is productive but you talk about Bluetooth and play button... Linux gives you full control to the system. You do not need to install extra software to get a fully functional shell for example. When the shell is loaded it does not stop like gitbash and so on. Moreover the skills you get using Linux rise you up to a strong level and help you to remain reactive on learning new technologies and update yours. I use jetbrain products as well and they are memory greedy.
