i never use linux so i dont know which better
all my rigs run on windows and till now i dont find problem or trouble with windows so i stay

but if you were told that your liner miners could get x2, x5, x10 more than on Windows? Would you decide then to try to mine on Linux?

If that's really the case, why more people using windows instead Linux?

Ease of use, familiarity would be my guess. I use Linux everyday at work, plus other OS's that most people have never heard of and it still takes several hours to get a Linux box mining
Linux:
get AMD/NVIDIA drivers
get newest cmake version
get newest g++ compilier
compile AMD/NVIDIA drivers
disable X
blacklist X from loading
download miner
compile miner

finally can mine, but only after having to google how to do each of these steps and spend hours on stack overflow searching every error that comes while installing

Windows:
get AMD/NVIDIA drivers
install drivers
download miner
start miner

Install Nvidia, Fglrx, and AMDGPU-PRO packages from distro repo or PPA.
Compiling Nvidia driver kernel module with DKMS is only necessary if running a custom kernel.
Flgrx and AMDGPU-PRO will pull down the default build dependencies if not already installed.
You need an X server to be running to change clocks, voltage and fan with Nvidia and Fglrx.
Most miners are closed source and you download a binary.
