Linux IS a workhorse, so the biggest "advantages of using Linux" is
_using_.
Not easy and not done by anybody else, it IS a partnership of user+OS.
Try to visit a computer user group meeting and observe the "Wailing
wall" of complains about behaviour of OS's.
In current world Linux frees you from constant worry of infectious
programs.
The "down points" IS, nothing to 'brag' about. Does NOT need special
hardware, does its job(s) and life is normal.

Have fun
