Why would you browse (if using win) Microsoft support forums while programming? Obviously it’s for hardware/software related issues, not much tied to your coding environment.
Why I have to ask professionals for help in the first place? If I need help from 3rd party people in order to fix a bug in my app because of OS issues then something is very wrong.
Environment is how you make it. For example you can use PowerShell both on Linux and windows. The only difference is that some apps are not there by default or are unavailable and you have to look for alternatives. So there’s no problem in setting a whole environment from ground up on LFS if you know what you’re looking for. It’s all about making yourself feel in home.
I can do it on a piece of paper with a pencil. You’re just delusional if you think you need multiple bleeding edge packages, fancy colorful paid IDEs or cloud connected environment to create an app.
Are you my programming professor perchance? Sure, if the mafia points a gun at my head and forces me write an IBAN validation algorithm in valid Java code on a piece of paper, then I’m happy to oblige. But when does that ever happen? Why use Netbeans with light theme? Why are you forcing us to demonstrate bubble sort with a Hungarian folk dance? Why are you recording us dancing? I’m asking too many questions. You probably put too much crack in your coffee today.
Here’s what you need for coding:
A code editor
That’s it. OS doesn’t fucking matter.

True. However what kind of OS you use is indifferent. You’ll always find a way to incorporate your way into the environment.

What do you mean by “good”? Some people prefer their OS over the other and they perfectly adapted to it.

I see a few inconsistencies in your comment

except when compilers and libraries have platform-specific quirks, or you are developing something that should run on a server
An editor? That’s it?
No need to test the code? No need to see how that code behave with other components?
Have you ever code in your life?
My operating system never had any effect on the final product.
Depends on the ecosystem around the language - there are tools that just plain don’t work or work poorly on Windows.
Alternatively you could try developing a .NET Framework v4 app on Linux, if the OS doesn’t matter (no, mono is not equivalent).

But you need Windows to compile and test older .NET stuff, even if you write the code in notepad.
I attended a conference where there was an openvino demonstration
The windows guys who tried to install relevant stuff, were met with a big visual studio download
The macOS guys had it easy
The only linux guy had an amd and couldn’t try it
Ironic, since that was an open source conference
Only 2 presenters openly used libreoffice
As far as I know notepad is an universal app that is on every pc. You had a weird team
@vsh @sounddrill
notepad is a windows app!
Oh kay, correction: notes app
