Dual booting a Linux and Windows machine is easy. I considered that option when I first got into web dev, but went to a bootcamp that was all-mac and it was just too much of a hassle to constantly translate everything from Mac-flavored to Linux-flavored Unix.

I'm happy with the Apple dev environment, minor gripes notwithstanding, because so much of it just_works. I'm also scared off somewhat by Linux driver gremlins (which speaks to your worry). A friend of mine, who's also using Linux to learn web dev, is constantly running into issues with his WiFi disconnecting and other small things that - while they aren't critical - add up in the long term.

So Linux is a good option if you're willing to really dive into it, which you should do as a webdev anyway, because it's so important as server infrastructure, and if you're OK with minor usability issues. But if you'd like to save that for later and focus on code, I'd go with Apple.

Hope this helps. Curious to see what others recommend.
