The author of the article apparently doesn't agree with that: "And Linux isn't minimal effort. It's an operating system that demands more of you than does the commercial offerings from Microsoft and Apple."

The author thinks that installing lots of 3rd party dependencies and software is a good idea and somehow makes for a better development environment. I think he first needs a lesson on UNIX philosophy

I think it might cost more effort than OSX, but not nearly as many headaches as Windows.
