linux is better than windows in lot of ways

But until unless you are a windows developer

well games aren't that great in linux, bcz it's an open source and gets updated on ease, especially few distros like arch, will find you a new kernel version almost next day, and there are many flavours like arch, debian, red-hat, fedora....

And to play something in linux we have to configure wine bottles and stuff

Yeah we can use linux on a older devices or devices with less resources, windows is heavy and literally eats away the ram to do normal task, especially if using on hdd with integrated graphics it literally takes minutes to load

Security wise I choose linux have a better security than windows,

Linux you can create your own system ex: vanilla-arch, but windows have to stick to the developers preview or update

It literally sends every stuff to ondrive and shares all the user statistics to Microsoft
