Enthusiastic IT Specialist for application development and computer science student.
Unapproved software architect.
Looking forward to dive into glitch art, data science and machine learning.
Well, I use all three operating systems. I use my MacBook primarily on the couch to do some research, general Browsing and some organizing. It also serves as a guest notebook. It doesnât have the best hardware specs, so I settled over to windows / linux for tasks that require more resources.
I use Windows for many tasks, especially Photoshop, Lightroom, gaming, 3D Modelling and dev tasks concerning my job (Java with IntelliJ). I use Manjaro Linux in a VM for coding node.js, python etc. In oppose to many other comments, I think that powershell is a very good scripting solution because it provides lots of functionality in very small commands. For example: I coded a ps script in 20 LOCs that does the same tasks as a bash script with 70 LOCs.
tl;dr: There isnât a perfect OS, if your tasks exceed coding (for example iOS development requires some sort of macOS, either locally or remotely). Photoshop and Lightroom only run on Win and macOS. Windows path statements suck, you donât have a native access to zsh etc. Linux is very limited when it comes to gaming etc. Virtualizing windows may cause some work, if youâd like to use a dedicated graphics card and want to have access to the full power of your machine.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
