Unity feels like it runs best on Windows to me. Metal bugs caused quite a few Unity issues for me when I was developing on a Mac. That was a year or so ago, so maybe the situation has improved.

Also a lot of useful 3d content creation software is Windows only, or only supports CUDA acceleration, so implicitly rules out Mac from being a first class citizen (e.g. substance painter)

Obviously not every game is the same, or needs fancy tooling. But Windows feels like it just works for game dev.

It doesn't shock me that it run's best on Windows, and you should of course use whatever works for you. I'm sorry if I implied anything else.

I have to agree. I love me some *nix (excluding Mac/iOS, actually), but game dev is the one thing I played with that just felt easier on Windows.
