Reading this on Mint Linux machine. I had used Windows and Mac almost all my life up until I joined a startup about 2 years back when I was given a 16gb 128 SSD Dell laptop with Mint 18 on it. TBH I was not very excited initially But fast forward 2 years I can now say with a fair degree of confidence that there is no going back for me ever. One can possibly do everything and only better and faster on a Linux like Mint running on good hardware. I can only say this to fellow developers if your job is to write code or scripts or automation on a day to day basis Linux is the place to be. You'll get better every day, effortlessly. I reboot my machine every once in a few months and it has never ever crashed on me, It hanged once I plugged a specific projector one time but I could recover it without full reboot, and to put things in perspective I install and uninstall pretty crazy stuff on almost on a daily basis and it wakes up from hibernation in just about 5-8 seconds.
