install most of which are cross platform.

Full disclosure: I've never installed Windows since I upgraded a 3.1
laptop to 3.11 Workgroup. At work IT drops off the new Windows box or I
buy something with Windows pre-installed. My builds have all went straight
to Linux.

When IT drops off a bare metal box they leave rapidly. Linux is strictly
'don't ask, don't tell' for them.
Every laptop the government handed me for project usage immediately got Linux
on it. The main downside was that we had to set up the CAC and handle security
updates ourselves. Me, the Russian guy, and a couple other dudes.
