Why?

Good question, right? Especially if the whole question is: “Why do you use Linux?”. I think I found the best answer. It will not fit into one sentence, but you will like it, habralinuxoids!

We tell everyone that we use Linux because it is secure. Or because it is free; because it is customizable; because it is free; because he has excellent community support ...

But all this is just marketing nonsense. We say all this to non-Linux users because they do not understand the real reason. And by repeating this lie again and again, we ourselves begin to believe in it.

But the real reason does not go anywhere, although it remains hidden deep.

We use Linux because it's interesting.

It is interesting to get on with your system. It is interesting to change any parameters, break the system, then climb into recovery mode to fix everything. It is interesting to choose from hundreds of distributions available. It is interesting to use the command line.

Let me repeat. It is interesting to use the command line.

Not surprisingly, non-Linux users do not understand this.

The purpose of using Linux is itself . Of course, we like it when everything works. Of course, we like to be protected from viruses. Of course, we like to save money. But these are only side effects. What we really love is playing with the system, exploring new features in the software that is hidden inside it.
