I would say that Linux is the second desktop for development (behind MacOS, in front of Windows), however... I wonder if any of you tried to develop C/C++ on MacOS. It seems that it's impossible to find leaks and misbehavior, while on Linux there is this valgrind that does everything for you. MacOS have some `leaks` tool but it does not really do half of the things valgrind does. So probably I would say "Linux is in the first place". /Writing this on my company's mac/

I mean yes that's a weird take, why would MacOS be considered first? I have a Mac provided by my company. None of my development tools are available there, profiling, debugging is a hassle. The only way I can work on it is by booting up linux VM, or connecting to my servers to compile there. Mac is just terrible for development. It's barely better than Windows.

  What is your primary language? I’ve worked at some pretty well known tech companies over the last couple of decades, and it’s been nothing but Macs for at least the last 15 or so years.
