I use Windows. I'm comfortable on a Mac or linux. I've used both for a while. But my boss doesn't want to learn to admin Macs. I must also admit that Visual Studio is probably the best tool for developing .NET applications. And the full version only runs on Windows currently. (VS Mac has more limited features.) For a while after VS2017 was released, VS Code was the better IDE for .NET Core stuff. But with recent updates, Core is well supported in full VS. Docker support is still a bit weedy though.

I have been more tempted to move over to Mac or Linux since Windows 10 came out. The data collection in Windows 10 really disappoints me. And I make every effort to disable it in every Microsoft product. It's truly sad that I must do that.
