The Linux desktop as a whole doesn't have that positive argument. How about being much easier to keep up to date for the average user? A single tool updates everything and doesn't leave a million bundled copies of various low level libraries in every app that uses them. It's much easier for a normal person (or advanced user) to keep a linux system patched. Keeping your OS and applications takes a lot of effort on windows. Another is that it comes with a lot more great tools out of the box than windows, users don't have to navigate the web trying to find software or rely on OEM crapware. UI wise it provides a much more consistent experience and it stays out of your way a lot better (no focus stealing shit everywhere).
