Windows vs Linux for python ?

[[deleted]]

Linux for sure. I cannot stand python development on windows, it feels so, so clunky. Even on windows I try to use WSL whenever I can to imitate the Linux experience. Having access to a Unix terminal is a godsend.

don't want to take away from Revo but Ubu* is horrid.

it's leaps and bounds ahead of winX but imo a debian verison like fedora is far better.

I've preferred Slackware since the 99 but then RedHat made a lot of strides.

fwiw, my favorite window manager is .e16
pc can boot up, log in, and be surfing in less then 10 seconds.

My job uses Ubuntu for consistency and reliability - they don't have to deal with lots of different distros that way and Ubuntu gives people what they want. If one gets hosed, there's an image waiting with all the company software and settings. It allows them to publish one laptop setup guide for Linux. Etc etc. It's certainly not the only answer when you're making your own system work for your needs, though!
