Both have strengths depending on your needs:

**Windows is better for:**
- Gaming (wider native game support)
- Professional software (Adobe, Microsoft Office, many industry tools)
- Ease of use for beginners
- Hardware compatibility out-of-the-box
- Tech support from manufacturers

**Linux is better for:**
- Privacy and security
- Customization and control
- Programming/development work
- Server environments
- Running on older/lower-spec hardware
- Being free and open-source
- Avoiding telemetry/data collection

**The practical answer:** 
- Most home users find Windows more convenient
- Tech professionals often prefer Linux for development
- Many people dual-boot both
- macOS is also worth considering if you're in the Apple ecosystem

What would you primarily use it for? That usually determines the better choice.
