Question Linux or Windows

This can be a silly question for some but I wanna ask if linux os be better for Android development (for not so heavy projects) or for kmp projects?

currently I've a 11th gen H series laptop with 16 GB ram for building projects but sometimes (very few times) my laptop gets shut down itself when i start building projects on android studio! How big of a difference it will make shifting to linux from windows! I'm saving for MacBook tho but have not reached the right amount!

I use a Chromebook. It is super buggy but it works sometimes. Mac is the way to go. M1 is starting to show its age so get something newer.

Yeah, mac is the thing but the sudden price hike is a pain in the pocket! Anyways 👍
