Sure, I can name two such advantages. You cannot catch a ransomware cryptolocker using Linux on a desktop, it's definitely Windows-only kind of software. In fact, any FOSS OS has this advantage, unless you're using Wine (software). Also, you can ensure that your patients' data won't be uploaded to M$ or Apple, but that can be considered a common practice these days. Reco
