Linux is Most Used OS in Microsoft Azure – over 50 percent of VM cores

I don't mean as far as idle resource usage.

The advantage of Linux is when you want to accomplish tasks without a great internet connection, but the windows tools are not evolved enough as far as command line functionality.

This was once the case, but PowerShell has been a solid administration tool for quite some time now. OpenSSH Server also ships as part of Windows, which was the missing link (since WinRM is, charitably, awful). The remote administration experience of Windows is now certainly comparable to Linux, in my opinion.

Thanks, at this point I'm neither a sysadmin not a masochist so I haven't checked this out.

You seem to want to retain your bias.
