I suggest a Unix/Linux platform. Unix was originally designed as an operating system for programmers and Linux is very Unix like in design. Linux systems typically provide most of the tools you'll need be it compilers, or text editors out of the box. If not they can very easily be installed. Not to mention Linux is free, in every sense and although this freedom may come at a slight cost for the learning curve at first it is most certainly worth it. Some useful tools I use are Neovim, GCC, Gimp, Gdb, Urxvt (for terminal), zsh (for shell), and I like i3 or DWM window manager under Arch Linux. They make for a great programming and development environment.

I currently use Windows 10 with Visual Studio, but trying to dual boot with Linux. Not working yet though.
