I think it depends on proficiency with the platform more than anything. I've spent 8 out of the past 10 years with Linux as my laptop platform, the other two were split between Windows & MacOS. Both of those were huge productivity steps backward (big enough that 2 of those Linux years were from running Linux on a MacBook Pro!!). Ironically about half of the productivity loss was due to increased administration time. The only real win with the other platforms was somewhat better battery life.
