Programming with Visual Studio on Windows is very convenient, really good IDE if you ask me. But yeah, you can always give it a test run! Get a crap laptop, virtual machine or set up dual boot. Try do all work in Linux for a week and see how it goes :p

But thinking back today I believe that I could just as easily started off with Debian. As long as you download a version with DE installed such as KDE/Gnome. Ubuntu is really debian but more limited in some ways, if I can express it that way. But just go distroshopping :p Download a bunch of distros and play around with them. I went distroshopping/hopping for a long time before actually settling down with debian. What I mean by that is to take your time, have fun and explore different distributions :p https://distrowatch.com could be a good place to start. Haha but meh, I guess if you want a straight answer Ubuntu could work.

I run MacOS on my everday machine. I have access to Ubuntu and CentOS servers primarily, but I also have a hypervisor with a dozen or so operating systems (windows, linux, bsd, etc) installed so that i have a variety of testing/sandboxing environments
