Complete control over the operating system and ability to customise it as you see fit. More importantly, there are no corporations that own it to track what you do. Why should corporations be allowed to make billions off what you wish to do with the operating system, applications you use or the web sites you visit? Linux is about freedom to choose and do what you wish.For those that use Linux.....Why?
Just curious.
I prefer working on Debian-based OS more than Arch, simply because there is a lot of Ubuntu documentation to read from, and most of them can also be applied to other Debian distros.I have been running Arch Linux with Gnome for about 2 years now. More recently I began using the ALEZ installer to set up my system with OpenZFS as the filesystem. There is a learning curve to using Arch but its definitely worth the effort. The guy behind ALEZ is doing a good job of making installation of the base system on OpenZFS easy. There are still issues with the ZFS on Linux project but things appear to be improving.
What I like about Arch is that I can decide, at least to some extent, what goes onto my system and what does not. The packaging system is called pacman and its the best I have seen. Prior to Arch I ran Debian but didn't like their slow adoption of new technology. Before that I tried Ubuntu and they were the opposite of Debian. With Ubuntu I was having to remove all kinds of junk that I did not need or want.
The Gnome desktop is not perfect but I can work with it. Its the only desktop that tries to keep it clean and simple, and to get out of my way when I don't need it in my face. To me its the only desktop that doesn't look like some sort of windoze clone. I will say that over time the Gnome Desktop is getting better with each new release.
I have built many whitebox systems over the years to run Linux on. My next build is going to be an AMD Ryzen system with an ATI Radeon card. Maybe this summer I will spec out the parts and begin acquiring them. Right now I have an 8 core i7 system with integrated Intel video and it makes a very decent desktop system. I would not recommend it for gaming though.

I virtually never boot into windows, but i still keep it on my disc.Right now I have removable drives for Windows 10, Linux Mint 20.3 and Linux Mint 21.0. With the intention of eventually abandoning Windows altogether.
Linux is not a "free and opensource windows replacement", it has not been developed to give you a windows experience, it is a completely different beast.
I had Ubuntu with CentOS on a VM.Has anyone used CentOS? Is it any good?
I like to know what my machine is doing, and have certain control over it. Plus I need it for work (already mentioned that I need to run Oracle DBA and no way this is going to work on Windows, VM or not).For those that use Linux.....Why?
Just curious.
Astronomically more efficient and secure in how it uses system resources compared to Windows. Less bloatware. Updated routinely six to seven times a week. Though you always have far more control over updates, unlike Windows.For those that use Linux.....Why?
Just curious.
New Toys! That's always fun.Just got it installed this morning, and I'm still learning the ropes.
