What Is The Best Operating System to Learn java?

Since the whole point of Java is to provide a cross-platform runtime environment, it follows that any supported OS will be a fine choice. Eclipse and IntelliJ run on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and while all software has platform-specific caveats, I've done java development on all of those platforms and haven't found any particular one to be lacking. If you are targeting a specific platform, use that one. If you are most comfortable with a certain platform, use that one. As far as Java is concerned, I don't know of any limitations which would make it more advantageous to develop on one OS versus another. That said, I would say you are better off developing in the environment which will most commonly use your application. You might miss platform caveats that you would otherwise have noticed developing natively.
