Hey!
My experience in front-end development is less than a year, but on the recommendation of friends with experience, I decided to switch to a macbook soon. But this will happen at least in a few months.
Question:
Is it worth switching to, for example, Ubuntu now?
Or stay on Windows?
Your opinion, experience...

If you are planning to move to OS X, then there is no need to torment Ubuntu now.

Put it on a virtual machine, but try the same ubuntu without killing Windows, for the frontend, it seems to me that this is a purely individual choice. When the application's runtime is a browser, the OS has little effect. The main thing is that the tool is suitable (sublime works everywhere)

Depends on the tool stack.
If the stack is cross-platform, then choose the system for which there is enough money or time.

Mac is the same Linux, but in a beautiful wrapper (if you master the terminal commands in Linux, then you won’t get lost in macos). So feel free to switch to Ubuntu and install a Windows virtual machine for photoshop.
