Sorry, I realised that just now and added a few more.  Doh, I'm being a dummy but I didn't expect such great fast replies!  Thanks!

Perhaps I can help by being a bit more specific:

Bitcoin
Ethereum
Monero
Factom
Synereo
Dash
Storj

Given that list, can anyone say whether Windows or Linux would likely be the first release platform for their wallets/nodes/stuff...?

You're listing the bigger, more established coins here... I don't think there will be a (big) difference between the release times for windows or linux wallets for these coins.
I was talking about new coins with a small community.

I'd personally go for linux, but i think it's just a matter of personal taste...

I am about to buy a fancy laptop primarily for the purpose of doing all my cryptocurrency stuff (but not mining).

Can anybody help me decide between Windows and Linux?  My main question is do wallets/nodes tend to be developed on Linux first or Windows first?  I want to know which platform Bitcoin clients, but also other cryptocurrency clients/wallets in general tend to get developed on first.

I am not an expert with command line, so I refer mainly to GUI type wallets.

In my personal opinion, an honest dev will publish his sourcecode on github...
In my experience, compiling a node/wallet on linux is a lot easyer than compiling one on windows.

however, i've seen some dev's publishing the windows binary long before publising the linux binary...

I am not an expert with command line (although I can use Linux in a basic way), so I refer mainly to GUI type wallets.  I am interested in software for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, Factom, Synereo, Dash, Maidsafe, Storj, NEM, Sia and Lisk.  So Windows or Linux for these?
