    I would say Windows as the SQL AG story is more mature. Things should work fine on Linux, but I tend to avoid v1 versions of things like HA.

    However, feel free to test and see. I think Joey D'Antoni and Allan Hirt have been happy with the HA story, but I know it has been a journey for them.

    the thing is, the Linux support is still evolving here.
    Tried and trusted for sometime now on Windows, the beauty is, you will be able to migrate to a new AG on a Linux system when the product is mature enough
