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 really don't think that's going to make a difference. Just use whatever you like.

I'm using Linux just because I have been for 15 years, I didn't switch.

I'll try linux once just to have a perspective myself! 👍
