Assuming you picked the right distro:
0. No licensing / online accounts bullshit and shenanigans requited for simply using it;
1. No ads integrated in my fucking os;
2. High scalability (i can configure what components and resources to have for my system);
3. Updates don't mess with my configurations, also i can use a system which i don't have to literally unhinge for having updates not automated and mandatory;
4. I can do with it whatever the fuck i want to without needing to "jailbreak" or "sideload" shit;
5. The system doesn't shit itself if i switch some component (like the processor for example) or if i simply port the installation itself to another machine;
6. Most of the time EVERYTHING works out of the box without configuring stuff;
7. No arbitrary sw and hw limitations, i can slap it on a potato, a mainframe, a gaming laptop, whatever. Fucking works anyways.

Genuinely just works.
I have NEVER had a single issue in 16 years of using Linux that wasn't fixable by pinning packages or changing a config line. Though granted, I only started using it for more advanced purposes (everything that doesn't require windows drivers) since 2019.
Windows on the other hand just keeps breaking. It lacks so many features. The fact that updates are mandatory and that something as TRIVIAL as implementing a "do not steal focus" window manager option isn't done is insane. The fact that the web browser has been the file explorer and desktop since 98 is just as crazy.
On Linux, if it breaks, someone knows how to fix it. On Windows, if something break, you will NEVER find an answer other than "sfc scan now or reinstall", especially since every search result slot is hoarded by braindead normies on the MS forums.
This isn't even about a weird autistic fixation on making a perfect OS, Linux simply just works better and has more features. Bootable BTRFS snapshots is something that Windows can only dream of, let alone kernel rollbacks and changing your DE.
It just works.

this is honestly one of the things that got me over the line. it seems silly, but things do break and with windows you're generally just fucked. you might find a few things, but if they don't work then oh well time to reinstall. you might even reinstall immediately so it "runs fast again". in linux it's always fixable. it gives you enough information to look it up just know what's wrong, people who use it know what they're doing, and there's no need to reinstall to make it fast again because it just doesn't slow down over time in the first place.

how shocking and unexpected

why havent you killed yourself yet loser?
do something useful for your mom and fertilize her compost pile
everyone wishes you were dead, especially your mom
how embarrassing it must be for her to have to explain to her friends all the time that her son is still a fat 50 year old incel NEET loser eating all her food and stinking up her basement spending every waking minute of his incel life "owning M$/loonix"
there is no bigger no-life loser on this entire shithole of a site than you, and that's saying a lot
just end your worthless life already, the world will be a better place with you dead

Its not that Linux is better its that the other have just grown to suck much more. I prefer Linux because it doesn't glow as much as Windows, and Mac OS requires you buy a Mac computer.

Here's a better question: If you're on /g/, how can you not like Linux? I can't imagine anyone truly being into computers while disliking Linux since there are so many flavours of it and all of them offer a load of stuff to tinker with.
