All systems have advantages.
Linux offers a way around license issues; it is not that the sample you
have is free; frankly, just the time spent installing it costs more than a
PC, and in many cases trying to install it will turn your hair gray. But
the real advantage is that any clone of the software you may need to make
can be made, and given away. For software development that is useful.
For printing, running Linux in a VM is a guarantee that your drivers will
always print the same whatever the behavior of the host OS. When you have
seen colors change every time a new Mac OS is released, you get the point.
