I've have been seeing more and more about Linux in my article feeds with topics like "Linux for the every day user", and "Linux! Can you game on it?" and in my YouTube feed there are videos about different distros and what to do on Linux.

This got me thinking... is Linux better for development?

Do you use Linux for development? What do you develop? How has the experience been for you? What is your best advice for someone to get into developing in Linux? Are there distros to try out? Are there distros to avoid? Why did you move to Linux from MacOS or Windows?

I welcome all comments, questions, and suggestions! I may even turn this into a series where I try out Linux and report my findings.
