   A poll the OP asked me to share, it asks "Which OS is using as your development environment?"

     @design_RG Mint is a great option for someone new, so is Ubuntu.

     the learning curve is steep. Windows is built as a platform for non-tech people (Even though tech people do use it). That makes it easy to use without needing to do much research, but it also means it isnt nearly a powerful and not well suited for tech people.

     I have a project I run (Aparapi) where I need to compile a native app for windows. Simply compiling on windows (due to the difficulty in automating such a thing) has wasted an astronomical amount of man hours. Having worked in both environments side by side I really dont understand how most windows users can bare it. I usually just tell myself its the result of them not knowing what they are missing as they never put the time in to learn the alternatives.

     Not saying that applies to you, but man windows is like pulling teeth as a developer even though i do find it easy to learn.

     If we are talking about a newbie trying to learn i have to disagree. The knowledgebase of howtos are far less on fedora vs ubuntu or mint, and the knowledge you learn there wont carry over to other distros as well since far fewer distros are fedora-like than they are ubuntu-like.

     I miss gentoo, used to love that distro. The udates just broke one too many times for me.
