It just works
Thats why most servers in the world are on linux.
The disadvantage of linux is that you have little performance loss like 1-3 % and you propably need to have custom bios (but you need to have it anyway if you want to squeeze best profits)
But if you will add managment of farm 100+ rigs then managing this Windows "thing" is F massacre
I personally am using Windows on my Lenovo Yoga 3 14 laptop while linux just had too many issues on it.
But i would still go to Professional MAC (its also unix system) + servers and miners on Linux.
we are developing a custom grid style system ( which we call 'thegrid' ) for 'thefarm' ...
its ALL linux and VERY efficient ...
but the issues with amd drivers was the only thing that drove me away - and still keep me away - from mining with amd ...
we will obviously get more involved with amd - but that is after we can safely get the drivers and all things associated with driver issues out the way ...
i can see you are doing HUGE things with this system - and its impressive so far ...
