Sadly, quite a few things. Here’s a few:

• Application support; some popular software is built with Windows in mind.
• One-click installers; Software usually comes with user-friendly installation wizards. No command lines or dependency juggling. Also better compatibility woth past versions
• Driver availability; Linux is getting better, but Windows is superior
• Better peripheral support like for printers, webcams, game controllers.
• Gaming performance; although Linux is gaining ground, Windows is just better in this regard
• Media codecs and formats; again, Linux is getting better, but this isn’t always an out-of-the-box experience
• Business integration; Windows plays nicely with enterprise tools like Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and legacy business apps.

Don’t get me wrong. I use Linux as my daily driver. That also means I get frustrated on occasion when again I must consult man pages instead of just running a troubleshooter or fiddling with Nvidia drivers instead of just running the game.

To get encryption one must start a “secret chat”. It’s an opt-in! Regular users will not even know the option exists, that’s how well hidden it is.

Regular chats? Plainly readable on the server.

By features, yes. By 10 miles.

Privacy? It isn’t driving anymore at this point.
