Why? Everything I saw on the subject point to the other way.

2) Linux doesn't support hardware encryption on OPAL drives (resulting
in a terrible performance hit if you decide to encrypt).

I saw another of your message explaining issues about it, but I never
saw anything like that anywhere else. Your issue is probably with your
computer, maybe a particular device which makes it behave wrongly, but
I'm not convinced about it in a general way.

3) Linux's update system is superior as long as there is no long delay
between updates, but can break things otherwise because they always
overwrite whereas Windows's big updates install the operating system
anew preserving settings and applications.

You are comparing two different things. Windows updates update only
Windows and nothing else: you have to manually handle everything else.
When a Linux update handle everything except for things you manually
installed (either because they're not managed by your distro or because
you want a more recent version). For example, if you want to use
FireFox, a Windows update wont take care of it when a Linux update will.
