Noting the title, using linux is indeed productive. How productive is dependent on you.
The learning curve for linux is higher than other operating systems, that should be a given.
My recommendation to you is use whatever you are comfortable with and enjoy.
At the end of the day, every operating system is going to have pros and cons.
For me:
As a software developer, I use OSx for work on a Macbook Pro (I would not pay for mac products personally, but if your company offers it, it has bonuses).
My beefiest computer is running Windows 10, as I tend to game.
Every server I maintain is running Linux, the distribution/flavor does not really matter.
I could easily swap my OSx/Macbook experience to a *Nix/System76 one if a company offers that. But, generally speaking, Linux is 3rd place with Desktop compatibility and experience, 1st place for server experience.

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