Now, let's talk about Linux advantages. Linux uses your system resource more efficiently. It has many filesystems for you to choose from depending on your needs. You can unlock the full potential of your laptop, especially, if you mainly use open-source software in your working pipeline, you may find out that they run better on Linux. For instance, Blender works faster on Linux. Also, in Inkscape, you may find bugs that only occur on Windows but not on Linux. And it could be many more. But since I can't use Linux as my primary operating system on my laptop, I don't know.
However, if you buy a fully customizable laptop like the one sold by Framework, you'll have an option to only pay for the hardware (laptop) while the operating system (Windows) can be bought separately. This is due to the fact that their laptop is fully functional on Linux while many other laptops out there will only work with Windows, thus can't be sold at a ready-to-use state without Windows.
