I had a similar experience, with the added problem that on linux I was an xmonad user. I Persisted because I found the games I want to play are all available on OSX, which meant instead of dual booting linux + windows I could just stick with one operating system.

Development happens either in a Vagrant VM so that I can replicate the environment my server is running in (usually U12.04), or on a VM somewhere else. This has the added bonus of forcing me to be more explicit about what my minimum dev environment is, and keeping my host OS clean.
