Why do I use a Linux?
As a Linux user, I must admit that the reasons for using Linux are less than the reasons for not using Linux. So no matter how good I personally am afraid to say "use Linux" to the end-user. I have discussed this for a long time. But there are no reasons to use them, these are the things I want to discuss this.
Free Software
The idea of free software developing around GNU is actually a pretty old theory and thought. The aim is to expand the rights that the user has and to make the user fully authorized on the software.
Freedom to run the software for any purpose.
Freedom to learn how the program works to get what you want and change it. Accessing the source code of the software is a prerequisite for this job.
Freedom to distribute copies. So you can help your neighbor.
Freedom to develop the program and publish what you have developed (and generally modified versions) to the benefit of the whole community. Accessing the source code is a prerequisite for this.
This understanding is interpreted as "free software" in the west with the word "Free" coming to both free and free understanding, but this is not intended. However, since the free software license does not appear to be a license for the software, it does not appear to be a lot of paid software. Follow Me: My ClearOS Profile, My ReactOS Profile. Opinions against this free software concept are the BSD license, which prevents the developer from having full control over the software like the user, and the EULA license that gives them freedom to the developer by restricting the user.
Free software offers a highly customizable environment on software. For example, in Linux, you have the chance to change the vital parts of the system, such as Init, as well as completely change the interface you use. Another example of this is Firefox. Firefox has a fork named Pale Moon on Windows, as well as another fork named Iceweasel on Linux.
System Quality
Linux codes are fully organized. Therefore, it is not difficult for volunteer people to publish various patches for the system, and thanks to these patches, Linux errors are easily eliminated and the system becomes easily stable. Linux is arguably more stable, faster, and safer than other popular operating systems thanks to these volunteer software developers. For example, on a Mac computer, Manjaro runs faster than Mac Os. It may sound strange, but remember that a large network of software developers strives for Linux.
Ideological Causes
Some left-wing people say that using Linux is more ethical than using proprietary software. (Left-wing countries like North Korea prefer Linux.) Right-wing people say that using Linux is more beneficial for the national capital, so working with Linux will improve technology awareness. (Pardus is a project taken at this step.) Other than that, people who advocate the Free market talk about an alternative operating system that will whip up other operating systems to develop.
Ease of Use
There will be those who find Linux difficult on the desktop, and they are not unfair. However, in systems that are not intended for daily use in a server style, interfering with a Linux system is much easier and simpler than interfering with a Windows system. In addition, people who start using computers with Linux find Windows more difficult and this proves that the job is not more than a habit.
Entertainment - Hobby
Some people use Linux only as a hobby and I am in this category too. According to some, it is a pleasant thing to deal with, to admit, even if it is none other than masochism.
Other
We talked about the most common reasons for using Linux, but if the universe is an ever-expanding area, the causes can also increase constantly. For example, there are no people who install Linux to play games, but this is not a popular option.
