I've never tried game development in any os, but for web dev and interacting with Linux production systems, Linux on my system is my go to. I've done the work on both windows and Linux and windows requires one to do all sorts of workarounds whereas in Linux it just works. I had to roll back an app package a few weeks ago when a local update wasn't compatible with what the app interacts with on our servers, but aside from that it's been solid, better than my experience on windows doing the same. Gaming on Linux is getting better day by day too with steam really pushing proton, tools like lutris, and things like Vulcan. Still a long ways to go on the gaming front but it's become much better. Neither windows or Linux is perfect but I'll take the quirks of Linux over the quirks of windows any day
