Sorry, I've never heard of cutechess. Could you answer me whether cutechess has the following features:
Like everything else in life , there is no one size fits all. Windows, Linux or even macOS can be the preferred choice. I would say those that are more technically inclined, can be fine with Linux or macOS or Windows - those that like to be spoon fed will probably be better off with Windows. If somebody does want to consider moving from the windows environment to the Lunix or macOS - reach out to somebody with that OS to see how they do it.

About 0.8% of computer users, in the US and Europe, use Linux. Among chess players, and computer chess enthusists, the number is about 6%. Most power users regularly use Linux.
