I'm just stuck in my habits from back when my dad was on Team Netscape Navigator, and I maintain a general revulsion for all things Chromium despite assurances it can be had without Google intruding. Brave is on my computer, but old habits die hard.
The main benefit I see to Linux is the ease of locking admin power behind a password to prevent malicious installation of software or modification of the system files. Windows can do this too, but every Linux distro I've tried is pretty good about setting this expectation. And of course Windows and Mac remain the more viable targets. Don't be the low-hanging fruit.
