I'd say Linux for development because you're usually closest to the deployment targets (docker, kubernetes or any unix based environment). But that's easy for me to say having a Linux, Windows and a Mac ready on my desk.

I ended up selling my MacBook Pro in 2017 and never look back 😆
Now I've just an iPad mini to test things in Safari and that's all.

What do you use your Mac for? Have you tried using WSL in your windows to get rid of the Linux one?

If anything I'd try to get rid of windows and macOS. Was using the Mac way more when I was still working as a composer. Today I use the Mac as a communication machine. Teams, Slack etc. And for testing. The same (plus gaming) on Windows.
