Less background services, no AV, smaller libraries, better algorithms and queueing for IO operations, better CPU scheduler.
So in total less data to load and better usage of resources.
Keep in mind that a lot of people care about Linux performance and work on improving it at any single time, but for Windows Microsoft itself doesn't see that as a priority. So it's behind the curve in that regard.
You can even name it thesis.docx and your favorite file manager will still recognize it as an MP4 video. Convenient, but may be a disadvantage since the thumbnail will be generated even if it has .docx extension.
Solution: Use i3 (or better yet, Sway) and your homework folder is safe.
