I guess you've also used Linux recently. What pros and cons do you consider of both sides?

I do use both. I think your good in whatever you choose in all reality. It's just preference. I've been a Linux user since the 90's. I just recently started playing with Windows more.

I would say the only real advantage to Windows would be some games, adobe products(I hate), Affinity Photo(I love), and maybe the office 365 ecosystem.

As far as Linux, it's fast, updates are quick, installs a quick, variety, major geek cred..double if you use Arch..lol

They are both good enough. Linux is really more than good enough, it's mainly some proprietary apps that make Windows desirable at all.
