Re: But will it...
"(and run be more performant, secure, easier to update, patch without rebooting)"
If it runs Linux, then no. You will have lower performance on the same hardware - The latest Windows 10 beats desktop Linux on benchmarks. You will still have way more security vulnerabilities and patches to assess / install than for windows. It will still be a lot harder to selectively manage them. And you will still have to reboot for kernel updates.
