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.
