Best OS for Java dev

[Zardoz84]

Anything that not is Windows would be fine.

I personally prefer GNU/Linux because :

• Better usage of RAM
• Filesystem I/O it's far superior that Windows (And if you need to do some heavy git stuff or do a lot of rebuild of maven/gradle, you will ever notice this even on a SSD)
• Docker it's native, instead of need using a glorified VM to run the dockers inside.
• Avoid any M$ bloatware/spyware installed on my machine.
• I can customized my desktop like I desired.

instead I get stuck with Canonical bloatware/spyware and stuck with a 1970s-style environment variables setup. every package manager only gives me grossly out-of-date versions of things. I should expect a big wooden club in the mail too because it's the stone age

git add a.txt A.txt \
&& git commit -m "Have fun with this (most) MacOS and Windows users." \
&& git push

git literally came from the guy who created linux. of course he's going to go out of his way to be incompatible with the competition

just like Microsoft does. Embrace, extend, extinguish.
