 There is nothing wrong with knocking Micro$oft/Apphole, and they
sure as hell deserve it, but the important thing is to describe
or demonstrate the superior aspects of GNU/Linux irrespective
of any "competing" OS.
 I can easily list several superior points:
 1) Total user control of the OS and software environment, if the
user chooses to eschew popular distros.

Buy a kit car, you get total user control over the finished product!

 2) Capability with any and all hardware present or past.  Obsolete
hardware is never obsolete with GNU/Linux.  Have floppies with an
ISA bus?  No problem.  Just check out the kernels, including
historic kernels, that are available at:
 <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/>
 3) Vast array of GUIs for both users and programmers.
 4) The Linux network stack has consistently beaten all competitors
since the very beginning.

Got a cite for that?

 Gaming?  What about gaming?
 Gaming is for sexually repressed idiot assholes and GNU/Linux
is not the place for gaming.

So basically, Linux is "superior" because its good at what YOU like.
