What are the other benefits from your perspective? To me, they are: - license cost (a small hurdle if you're buying $60 games) - open source (mainly a moral/ideological advantage rather than a practical one) - developer tooling (minimized if you use tools like Docker or Vagrant) |

I'll also add:
- WAY more customizable and flexible
- Can enjoy a smug sense of satisfaction as Windows users are hit by ransomware
- Does not spy on you
- Runs great on everything, including >10 year old hardware
It's also not driven by corporate interests. The #1 goal of Microsoft is to make money, and they'll put that before the needs of the user. Things like Windows 10 forced upgrades, spyware, ads in Windows explorer, etc - none of this would fly on Linux because Linux is made by people who just want the best possible operating system, not the one that monetizes uses the most effectively.
