Sure, I can name two such advantages.
You cannot catch a ransomware cryptolocker using Linux on a desktop,
it's definitely Windows-only kind of software. In fact, any FOSS OS has
this advantage, unless you're using Wine (software).
Also, you can ensure that your patients' data won't be uploaded to M$ or
Apple, but that can be considered a common practice these days.
