You can do web development on any of the 3 main computing platforms. Pick the OS that best fits you.
For me, that's macOS most of the time, and Linux some of the time.
Linux would technically be the "best" platform, as that's what you're presumably running on the web server. If you're interested in pursuing the Linux desktop, you might want to read DHH's blog[1] as he journeys his transition from macOS to Linux. He's even written some opinionated software, dubbed Omakub[2], to customize the experience. Omakub isn't my kind of thing, but it's still neat and may interest you.
Windows would be my last choice, but that's personal preference. Some might argue that with WSL and Docker that Windows might be a better solution than macOS for web development, but I'll take my chances.
I rarely run into others who use Linux as a web development desktop. But, practically everyone uses Linux as a development target (IOW, as the serving platform).
