Which one is better: Linux or Windows?

I can say, it’s up to your requirements. I have experience in working with Linux (Ubuntu) but I find it much less efficient in some way compared to Windows and in some ways, it is much better than what Windows provide.

In Linux, you can have almost everything you have in Windows, but that basically covers the things we require in our daily basis.

Reason : Windows is better

• It has much wider varieties of software and Windows itself is much better at customising compared to Linux (unless you are a developer).
• Compared to Linux (Ubuntu), Windows is better at conserving battery. I find Windows 2x battery efficient than Ubuntu.
• Windows is of course easy to use, and you can make Windows at the tip of your finger as customising is not that hard (you can use any other software for that purpose, or you can edit in regedit easily yo prefer your need).
• What you find best suitable option to work for in Windows, might not be available in Linux.
• Windows boots faster than Ubuntu (It might not be the case with some of you, but with little changes in Windows, it can be made that way. In my case windows boots in almost 20–30 seconds at max but Ubuntu atleast takes 1m 30s)
• You can make use of Ubuntu command in Windows itself. There is an Application named Ubuntu in Microsoft store, that will allow you to have the terminal interaction of Ubuntu in Windows. (It can fulfill your requirement if you want)
• Linux have different kind of bugs that require you to report them. One of the bug I encountered crashed my OS. During viewing images, Linux was getting slower at loading files, but I didn’t stop and it got hanged. I had to forcefully restart my system and then I found myself in GRUB.

Reason : Ubuntu is better

• Ubuntu is faster in moving files from one drive to another compared to Windows.
• The command line interface provides you insight of its (or different applications) working and also helps in building multiple views or procedure for a single problem.
• Many companies requires you to have the knowledge of working in CLI.
• Mostly GitHub users creates programs for the Linux OS and hence it will always be Open Source and you can easily create program by modifying source code for Linux as per your requirement.
• Linux itself can be customised as it is open source. So you can change the OS as you like.
• You gets daily updates that helps in preventing any security breaches.
• Linux is secure and doesn’t require any Antivirus, as root files can only be modified by Superuser.

I guess, this would be enough to convince you to either side. But, I don’t know your situation with Windows. You might find it troubling working in Windows, so you can dual boot system to check whether you will be good with Ubuntu or not, or if Windows works good for you then you can install Ubuntu from the Microsoft store, it will at least provide CL interface in Windows.
