Re: [android-developers] What OS is more user friendly for Android development.

I have 5 devices from different manufacturers. I plug them into a Mac and never
had to worry about drivers. It just works. But I actually do all my development
work on Linux, and I route adb communications to my Macbook via ssh port
forwarding. This setup works flawlessly. I got upset by the USB issues on Linux
so I gave up a long ago.

That said, for development itself, I'm very familiar with Linux, so that's an
obvious choice for me. I do all development tasks on Linux. I would advise that
you use the OS you are the most comfortable with. As you see, there are ways to
connect to devices through the network, so the development OS can be what you like.
