Linux looks like ass, is more difficult to use, barely supports games, has limited application support, has poor driver support, has a poor user experience, etc. To claim that it is superior to Windows is laughable. That's not to say it doesn't have many merits but if you want to do anything practical with your computer then that pretty much rules out Linux.
I don't agree that Windows is "inferior" either but your post is full of ignorance and doesn't really do much to help address what he said. Linux doesn't "look like ass", it's a kernel. It actually has pretty wide and varied driver support these days, even things like Nvidias binary drivers have come a long way. It doesn't have a "poor user experience" either, you can build a completely idiot proof Linux box and there are several distros to do just that with a simple flash drive install. It doesn't have poor support for applications, it has poor support for commercial Windows applications which is kind of a DUH thing to say. It has an objectively superior permission environment to Windows.
