I swapped between Windows and Linux (Mint/Pop) for a while because quite a lot of JS ecosystem things were problematic on Windows. WSL2 has solved most of those problems though.
I have bad luck with Macs, getting dev tools properly installed seems as hard as on Windows and everything falls apart a few times a year. The OS also seems to break itself and crawl to a halt sometimes (>1 minute to open settings). Linux distros were stable only if I can stayed on the happy path (single monitor, integrated graphics, don't try to sleep/hibernate) with close to default config. Windows can seemingly tolerate a lot more fiddling, at least since 7.
