    I guess it depends on the programming language and runtime. If you want to work with the dotNET framework I guess you should Windows 😂
    But for most other languages Linux / Unix systems are probably better

    With whichever OS you can be most productive. Don't believe the kids who "hate" one OS. You will make a pathetic impression on any decent professional, if you start participating in the "OS war".

    Depends on what field of programming you are interested, and wich OS suits you, I as a web dev I cannot find myself more happy and pump up with Manjaro, so I recommend you try different OS to see which one you are comfortable with

    Osx is good, I'm semi forced into using to for iOS development, but just started getting into Linux and it makes me feel legit. 😎

    Shut the fuck up and start programming wherever you want and whatever you have. Use a fucking potato Os if you want but atleast start coding....! U will thank me later when u will realize u didn't waste time on thinking which os which ide which editor. When are proficient enough go for specific things.

    Any Unix-based system, regardless of if it has a GUI or not. If I can run Emacs and a shell, and the system is (mostly) POSIX-compliant, I'm happy.

    Who cares. The used OS is hardly ever an issue.

    Do you want to start a war? Because that's how you start a war
