    My reasons:

    • You can completely customize linux to your liking. In win it is hard to customize even such a basic thing as keybindings.
    • You can fully control what is installed, win had tons of stuff, that cannot be uninstalled.
    • Things like proprietary software, telemetry etc. is opt-in, no need to deal with windows spying on you for example
    • System is leaner, less bloated (you can fill it with processes if that is what you need ofc)
    • Dev environment is a lot more comfy than linux

    The biggest downside:

    • Gaming is rough around the edge, even though it gets better and better.
