  3. Linux can be customized in multiple ways- Through kernel compilation and in user space. It also has a large number of free applications.

  5. Don't ask yourself what Linux can do for you, because this one is ready, but you may wonder what code you can apply for Linux.
  6. Working with Linux is awesome. Even before the rest, it makes you look like a tech savvy when you write those commands and codes.

    I love Linux because it just works and I can do everything I need in it with no surprises. I don't know if I'm very used to it, but trying to use win 7-8 and especially 10 is very difficult for me. The versatility that my system has (and that I use XFCE 😉) makes me really enjoy using it. That is why I love it and I will never change my Linux for anything!

    I join Leo, I will never change my important Gnu / Linux for Nothing.

    The possibility of rescuing other operating systems using gnu linux, although 4 years have passed the system does not lose speed, years can pass between blocking and blocking, in fact I have only had two in almost 5 years, after almost 7 years using gnu linux no I change it for nothing.

    Any of those factors apply to FreeBSD, to put it another Unix, and linuxers usually hate it.

    I love that it takes full advantage of my PCs.

    something I hated about windows is its insatiable need to run, install, request programs or processes that I don't need or want, LESS IS MORE.

    I first heard of linux in 2007 and the first distro I had to interact with was Ubuntu, at that time the version I worked with was feisty fawn and it caught my attention when I entered university in 2008 to study a degree related to computer science I saw that the university gave a lot of support to Microsoft software (since it is currently a parter) and only in some classes we were introducing ourselves a little more in linux, then at work I came across that the main server has It was a linux and so I was immersing myself more and more in the different Linux distributions, currently I have worked with multiple distros and one of my favorites has been OpenSuSE, Linux changed my life and the way I do my work and I have nothing left to give Thank you for such valuable support for all humanity.

    I have been working for 3 years in the office of a notary (notary public), and many computers use Linux (when I got there, they used Ubuntu 12), and the typical "Windows effect" happened to me, that is, used to death to Windows. In my spare time I used forums and help on what to do in Ubuntu, and now I no longer disgust Linux. At the beginning of the year, I resurrected an HP netbook on my own using Linux, and with a distro that I really like, which is Zorin OS.
    It is true that Linux has its "buts" compared to Windows (for example, installing a printer or a scanner), but for a standard user the mere fact of customizing it as you want is a good sign, in addition to having in record time updates and patches before every event.
