OS that meets your expectations is the best. Since you are still have windows domain, if you are ok with it, i recommend you to continue with it.

Hi

This should be more like your choice since the OS depends on the applications which are supposed to be running on it, If the application vendor suggest that it would run both in Windows and Linus then you have to start looking but then you have to take into account the support cost for either Linux or Windows other than the hardware maintenance.

Since you are already running windows it would be better to continue with this.
