Debian might be the preferred OS for Debian based embedded systems, but in
my world Red Hat is the Linux OS of choice.

If you are cross compiling, it really should not make a diff what the host
OS is. I can do this on Windows 10.  In this case, Debian just makes it
easier since you can install the toolchain directly via apt. If one uses
something like Ubuntu, it's just a bit more work but not impossible.
