    It’s the best for a primary OS, but unfortunately you if you make apps or desktop programmes you will probably still need a windows machine, or a Mac, or both. For me I have a windows VM and an old modded mac for those OS’s.

    Though interestingly probably the best machine for cross platform development would be a new-ish tri booted intel Mac with Linux as your main OS.

    Edit: just for the record I use a Thinkpad T430 as my main work computer.

      But yeah the way development tools like git just integrate perfectly into the OS is amazing, and the way you can get tools and libraries just by asking your package manager for them is invaluable.
