Third. The ruby world is very much into Mac. If you really want one, or want something that works a bit easier and nicer then do that. I was a happy Mac user for quite a while. I now prefer Linux but the benefits aren't really ruby-related.
One potential benefit of Linux for the ruby dev is running docker/other containers directly instead of inside a VM. I think my satisfaction with Linux is based on my willingness and interest to spend time learning about the OS.
