In the kernel:

1. Access to hardware performance counters and energy counters

2. Easily loadable custom drivers

3. File system that is not slow as hell ("Getting the modification time of a file ... seems to be about 100 times slower on Windows than it is on Linux"[1])

4. Practical mechanism to allocate large pages

5. Futex

In the ecosystem:

1. Package manager

2. C99 compiler

3. POSIX environment (a lot of scientific libraries and tools depend on it)
