Combined with ads in the start menu and privacy concerns around Copilot, developers are increasingly frustrated with Windows. Meanwhile, Apple's recent UI quality has declined. Linux distributions like Omachi with Hyperland offer smooth, customizable developer experiences that rival or exceed macOS, making 2025 potentially the year developers seriously consider switching to Linux. 97 11 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/banned-from-github-nf9mjazaw "banned from github") Video ThePrimeTime · 46w banned from github A developer reflects on the risks of platform dependency after witnessing a GitHub account suspension.
