As others have said, it gets back to what you want to use a computer for. Your list of requirements is pretty niche, even for people as oriented to video and graphics as most AS members. For the vast majority of people who use a computer to browse the web, read email, write documents, listen to music, watch videos, and create graphics, Linux and the broad array of open-source applications it supports is a fine alternative to Windows.
(I'd also take issue with some of the specific objections you raise, but that would move this discussion too OT given the OP's original question.)
