I am about to buy a fancy laptop primarily for the purpose of doing all my cryptocurrency stuff (but not mining).
Can anybody help me decide between Windows and Linux? My main question is do wallets/nodes tend to be developed on Linux first or Windows first? I want to know which platform Bitcoin clients, but also other cryptocurrency clients/wallets in general tend to get developed on first.
I am not an expert with command line, so I refer mainly to GUI type wallets.
In my personal opinion, an honest dev will publish his sourcecode on github...
In my experience, compiling a node/wallet on linux is a lot easyer than compiling one on windows.
however, i've seen some dev's publishing the windows binary long before publising the linux binary...
