Is it Windows or Linux?

I'm trying to follow an online course, and the material insist that I use Ubuntu because that's supposedly that majority of webdevs use.

I still heavily prefer Windows, mainly for having a mainstream OS instead of dualbooting and I have managed to recreate the setup the course provides with Linux on Windows (ex: setting up git).

I was wondering if I really do actually have to use Linux because it actually is the industry standard? I wouldn't want to be the special snowflake using Windows when everyone else is working on Linux. Or is Windows actually more widely used than the course says it is?

Thanks

I use RHEL and Windows about equally.
