We've been down this road ad nauseam. Linux may be an acquired taste when
it comes to desktops but the web and the cloud essential runs on Linux.
Even Azure is VMs spun up on Microsoft's own Linux OS.

Wherever you need rock solid reliability, Linux is superior. Besides most
Internet servers, all 500 top super computers and all CGI rendering farms,
Linux is just more solid. I've never had a BSOD on Linux. I've never had
Linux corrupted by an update (or corrupted in such a way that wouldn't allow
an update). I've never had "Registry" file corruption which would not allow
an application install or uninstall. I've never had malware or a virus in 18
years of Linux use. Obviously Linux a superior OS... period. Unfortunately,
for game players, most PC games are designed for Windows. So they're stuck
with an inferior OS. For me, fortunately, I don't play PC video games on my
computers, so a non-problem for me.
