   One big advantage is that the 'modern rewrite' of Unity actually   
   works with HiDPI displays, even on the text screens on login. Most   
   Linux distros are pritty hopeless faced with a high defn screen,   
   often citing a lack of funds/expert developers to cope with this   
   hardware.   
      
   Of course MSFT Windows copes fine too, but they have the resources.
