Everything and more.

Linux can do pretty much anything Windows can. Some things it does different though.

Oh look, it's another "Linux needs to prove itself" thread.

Pro-tip: if any company has systematically proven it doesn't give a flying fucking rats ass about its users it's Microsoft.

It provides a better user experience if you get something like Fedora or Antergos. If you decide to learn programming, it's known as the hacker's OS for a reason.

I've got some bad news for you then. A lot of companies have contributed a lot the Linux Kernel:
>Intel
>Red Hat
>Samsung
>SUSE
>IBM
>Renesas Electronics

If any government wants a backdoor selinux is not your biggest worry. Some of the companies listed above also make a lot of your hardware, so even if there is no backdoor in the kernel there could still be one in your hardware. (Intel ME anyone?)

Look the same for twenty years.

Configuration doesn't change much over the years, while Windows forces me to search for settings in a new pattern with every release.
