There probably aren't any. The whole point of open source software is that people can contribute code and fork projects. So most open source projects work on both Linux and Windows, and projects which are Linux-only will have forks by Windows programmers in order to bring the product to Windows.
An operating system shouldn't be judged on what it can't do though, only what it can do compared to what you *need* it to do. If you want a gaming system, you're going to go with Windows. If you want a lightweight server, you're going to go with Linux.
