Handhelds need every bit of battery savings and performance they can get. Seems crazy to weigh them down with a bloated OS like Windows.
And before someone chimes in that Windows isn’t bloated, I would like to point out that a Pro edition of Windows comes preloaded with TikTok. The professional version of Windows, the on you pay extra for, and even it is full of bloatware.
Windows is pretty bloated, but mostly because of 30+ years of legacy stuff in the background. Almost all of the preloaded junk is the OEM’s fault. The TikTok thing is just a shortcut.

You can remove all that on the image you use for production
But you can look at the ram and storage usage between the two and see Linux is the clear choice for anything performance related
