Windows crashes very frequently and the error is not easy to debug most of the time. You may need to restart the computer ( and you will get used to it ). Plus, Microsoft support forum sucks and takes a long time to answer just one question. It obviously isn’t a good environment for coding.
Linux, on the other hand, is far easier to debug and Linux professionals can help you with that.
Most of the open-sourced softwares are Linux compatible, so that will be very helpful for coding.
Why would you browse (if using win) Microsoft support forums while programming? Obviously it’s for hardware/software related issues, not much tied to your coding environment.
Why I have to ask professionals for help in the first place? If I need help from 3rd party people in order to fix a bug in my app because of OS issues then something is very wrong.
Environment is how you make it. For example you can use PowerShell both on Linux and windows. The only difference is that some apps are not there by default or are unavailable and you have to look for alternatives. So there’s no problem in setting a whole environment from ground up on LFS if you know what you’re looking for. It’s all about making yourself feel in home.

It is related to your coding environment. The term environment not only includes code editor and shell, but also the OS running those software, and the OS should be stable for a good coding experience.

You mean you don’t care what caused the crash and just restart your computer each time it happens? Isn’t that too inefficient?

Windows users will just stick with Windows not knowing how good Linux is. I feel sorry for them trying to get used to all the inconveniences.
Programming doesn’t even need a computer, in a sense. It’s done on your mind and all you have to do is implement the idea.
OS does matter if you want a better environment for coding.
True. However what kind of OS you use is indifferent. You’ll always find a way to incorporate your way into the environment.
You can adapt to it, but that will never be a truly “good” experience.
What do you mean by “good”? Some people prefer their OS over the other and they perfectly adapted to it.

I see a few inconsistencies in your comment
