I prefer developing on a Windows machine, WIN 10 is great, just donwload full visual studio and you have everything for win specific development. Anyway an article from someone who have Linux in his/her name is far away from an objective view.

I don't have linux on my nickname, in fact i just don't give a f* about the environment's gangs. I use each OS for what it's better:
windows: gaming and visual edition (photo, video..)
Linux: programming (unless you need to code something on .NET environment or for MacOS/iOS, there's no reason for using another OS for coding and lacking the features and power that Linux have and others don't).
MacOS: It's not better for any task, if you want to remain with only one OS and you don't want to game then you can pick one and being "silly trendy". You'll have native UNIX terminal but you still need to virtualize docker anyway, and the performance on rendering is worse than on a native windows; if you dual boot your mac with windows the performance is worse than getting a win95 for a reason i can't figure out.
If you want more info I tested it with my own money on this specs:
Main Desk, (dual boot Win 10 + Elementary OS): Ryzen 3600X, 32Gb RAM, 5700 XT (Was with a 1700X and Vega 64 when trying Mac).
MacBook Pro 13" 2017 touchbar (i5, 8Gb RAM)
Tried MacOS and Windows 10 on it.
I sold it due to low performance, then I bought a Huawei Matebook D 14 (Ryzen 2500U 8Gb RAM) where I had dual boot (Win 10 + Elementary OS). Nowadays it's only with Elementary as there's no sense on using the laptop for gaming or visual editing on it having a proper desktop. I also tested Ubuntu (different versions) and used Feren OS for a long time (first versions was OK but now it's like an ugly frankenstein made of parts of another OSs with no much sense, that's why I moved into Elementary)
The most surprising was find that the huawei with the ryzen 2500u (which is not for heavy duty tasks) was rendering videos on premiere pro CC faster than the MacBook Pro (i must remark the Pro word on its name).
I use Ubuntu/OS X/Windows daily. 2 main computers A gaming dell and a 2019 16" inch MacBook. I use the dell machine from 3D modelling to Programming (mostly .net and TS), I switched from dual boot to WSL, I dont lack in anything. I have the Mac from work it is light and stylish, the gui is the worst, but thats my personal feeling, I feel really confy with windows. I dont have a direct hate to anything, But I feel like a lot of hate for win comes from ancient times.

I know about WSL but i didn't tried it yet TBH, It's a pending task that I can't face till I've some time for it (maybe on Christmas), even that I don't need to keep windows+ WSL on my laptop when having a linux is enough for coding and office tasks, it may be useful on my desk
Try out WSL2 on Win10 2004+, WSL1 is full of bugs (due to its partial kernel). Even docker can smoothlessly run on the new version (allowing you not to have Win10 pro just for it).
As for usability I suppose it's kind of subjective: I just love Plasma's environment (KDE)

I'm win 10 pro (latest version) so it's not an issue, thanks for the info, I'll check it out when possible :)
