I'd tend to agree with all of that, but I want to also point out the one prominent thing that you basically can't do with Linux: play modern commercial computer games. Thus the moniker "Wintendo" that some people use for Windows systems.
Oh, and both Windows and MacOS have far more universal GUI homogeneity. That is, they tend to have programs that all look like they were made to look similar to each other. Linux is much more of a mish-mash in this category. But it's a totally aesthetic point.
