I don't think that Linux is better than Windows. The only thing which I dislike about Windows is the case-insensitive FS. Other than that, use whatever OS and tooling you like. Go for Windows, Linux, macOS, BSD, Haiku, Redox, Plan9,......
I use Windows and Linux for Web Development. On Windows, I use WPN-XM, git, Webstorm and Chrome, on Linux I just install the tools from Portage and use git, Webstorm and Chrome. There really is no difference :)
I even prefer the GitHub git-shell on Windows, but that might be because I am too lazy to configure something like that on my Linux :D
