It depends on what you do with it in the end. For programming, I feel much more comfortable on a linux machine rather than windows.

If you're a gamer, it's probably the opposite. :)

Gaming has come a thousand miles in the last 18 months. It's now possible for a relatively layman user to be able to install and run games using steam and lutris with no issues.

I am doing so on Linux, and with the (relatively old) games I play I have no problems. But drivers and performance can take quite a hit for recent games, in my experience.
