From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Programming doesn't even need a computer, in a sense. It's done on your mind and all you have to do is implement the idea.
OS does matter if you want a better environment for coding.
You can adapt to it, but that will never be a truly "good" experience.
Windows crashes very frequently and the error is not easy to debug most of the time. You may need to restart the computer ( and you will get used to it ). Plus, Microsoft support forum sucks and takes a long time to answer just one question. It obviously isn’t a good environment for coding.
Linux, on the other hand, is far easier to debug and Linux professionals can help you with that.
Most of the open-sourced softwares are Linux compatible, so that will be very helpful for coding.
