Now
I am Building backend apps using python golang ,nginx in centos OS, marialDB , shell command become my daily life
Why
More jobs .
Linux is kind of easier and more friendly to developer . the design of text stream interface make it very easy to chain command or tiny program from one to another .
free and more open source libraries .
