Definitely 14.04, as most of the miners have pre-compiled versions for 14.04 floating around SOMEWHERE.
ignore 16.x - they deliberately broke compatability in 16.x with the fglrx drivers, deciding to go only support the "open source" stuff - which does NOT support OpenCL worth beans IF at all yet and flat out does NOT work with mining software.
There's a bug in 14.04.4 that can cause issues if you use "mixed" GPU environments, but if you don't try to mix-and-match it's not an issue, and it CAN be worked around even if you do - it's on their "fix for 14.04.5" list, and didn't happen in 14.04.3 for some reason.

That is the good thing with claymore miner, it will auto detect gpu, and then apply the best settings for it. 
Some times, the auto detect does not work properly. It will set ethi 0 to HD 7970. I have to set it to 1 manually.
You have to use a 64 bit OS to mine Ethereum at all.
Win 10 seems to be very sensitive to driver version on mining - I've seen quite a few "stick with 15.12 Catalyst" comments for Win10.
LINUX is generally easier to work with in many ways - no worries about dummy plugs for one - but the tools are a bit more primitive for overclocking and fan control.

Does the operating system affect anything?
