I am going to look for any information that can be useful, however from my experience:

• Create a Jira xml backup 
• Create a db dump
• Backup home and install directories
• Make sure to create an excel sheet with all plugins name/version/license from Jira
• Install Jira (same version than the one you have in Windows) in your new Linux server
• Make any customizations done in dbconfig.xml, server.xml and any other files you are aware you made changes to in Windows into the new linux instance.
• Restore your backup.

Please make sure to try these steps in a test environment and let me know how it goes.

Also are you keeping the same DB?

Best,
