Which OS is the best for Front-End web development? If it is GNU/Linux, which distro?
| Pretty much any GNU/Linux distribution. What tools do you use? NPM, Yarn, Composer and PHP maybe? I can't think of a distro whithout these easily installable through the package manager. I personally use NixOS for all my development, its package management is brilliant.
| Well, Ubuntu is very accessible, but if you want latest updates of all the software, you'd probably need to use github.
| Doesn't matter really. Most of the tools are cross-platform and since this is front-end dev we're talking about, prepackaged tools don't matter. You'll Always need to stay up to date.
| KDE-Neon with kdevelop and php and/or python (django) plugins. Also have a look on custom templates for kdevelop.

vim and emacs are no development envrionments. They are texteditors. Yeah, i know you can extend them with plugins or combine them with other fancy cli-tools. But KDE provides a really good and also customizable desktop, that you can also pimp with custom plugins or integrate into other environments.
| If you know the right syntax, pen and paper will do.
| For front end development you want nodejs and npm/yarn. These are cross platform. For your development environment your best option is visual studio code which is also cross platform. In the end it doesn't matter what you pick though I would personally suggest an up to date linux distro in case you decide to get involved in back end development. Ubuntu is the safe bet, I would personally pick Arch.

A GNU/Linux and BSD installation literally is a ready to use development environment. A powerful text editor is just one of its components.
