The reason to use Linux is to follow the crowd. I use Nvidia's docker container because the plurality of devs use it. Over the course of my career I've found that well-trodden paths tend to have a _lot_ fewer bugs thanks to other people finding them first, and when I do get some https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/37790 https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/37790 weird https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/32575 https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/32575 bug https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/25301 https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/25301 I don't have to spend time explaining or justifying or isolating my setup. Conversely though, my work is itself off the beaten path enough that I'm likely to run into weird bugs. If I was pushing images through a CNN, that'd be well-trodden enough on every platform that I'd be a lot less fussed about which particular platform I use.
