A matter that depends on the distribution on the Linux side, and which Windows version on the other.

There are many supported and distinct Linux distributions, not so for Windows versions. I wouldn't want to run Windows 2000 in 2021 because it's the last one without telemetry.

Indeed, distrowatch is full of them, one user distributions that hardly anyone heard of.

Pity that all that security goes away the second an Electron app or Chrome is made use of.

Same applies to certain Linux distributions, like Android and ChromeOS, or are they Linux for promoting desktop and non-Linux for when it isn't convenient?
