I don't need a reason (like philosophical or anything else ) to use 
Linux. What you are saying is : if you don't use linux for philosophical 
  reason or for a particular reason (to do 'X') , then stay on windows. 
I don't think we are still on that kind of thinking. Years ago, you 
might have been right, when Linux didn't intend to be newbies system. 
But now a lot of distribution are created, working to be as 
user-friendly as possible ( that's the case of Ubuntu). They can't keep 
thinking that they will be used for philosophy.
