Not things like "I just don't like Windows" or software feature
comparisons or the politics of open vs. closed source, but rather things
like responsiveness to audio interrupts, RAM footprint of the OS and ...?
Any comparison would depend on what Linux you're using. Vanilla code
from kernel.org, binary packages from some distribution, RT-patch or
not? There are hundreds (thousands?) of kernel configuration parameters
that affect the speed and code size.
