Linux Mint (OS) APT-GET (ubuntu package manager) NPM (comes with node.js, package manager) Bower (built on top of NPM) Git / your preferred Git UI (obviously xD) Personally, I like brackets.io or the Atom text editors. Although those are to your personal taste. I do almost all dev inside text editors except for stuff like file management etc. Linux is amazing for keeping everything up to date and generally having tons of support and great open source apps.
