GNU/Linux

For a programmer, the Unix like environment provided by GNU/Linux is miles ahead of what is available on Windows. It is extremely easy to install most of the development tools with just a single command.

I switched from Windows to GNU/Linux over a series of steps.

  1. starting with using Cygwin under Windows
  2. using GNU/Linux inside a VM
  3. dual booting

Cygwin has been superceeded by Windows Subsystem for Linux.

My current distribution is Kali Linux. AFAIK, it is the only Debian derivative that uses a rolling release, making it possible to update without needing to reinstall.

Using the kali-last-snapshot branch for more stability as it undergoes release testing. All else fails, there is linux recovery
