@itsfoss freedom, no AI foisted on me, distros that don't start with the assumption that I'm stupid, the Arch Wiki (no matter what distro I use), choice of window managers - or even a usable terminal shell if I want…

Basically, everything. It's better than either major commercial OS by miles in almost every way.

@itsfoss no ai, no spyware, but most importantly, customization and the freedom of choice

@itsfoss
that I built my complete education, my university exam and the rest of my career at space science from 1986 through 40 ys until today on Linux. When I started studies all elder profs told me it makes no sense. My way proofed them beeing wrong.

It's empowering because I choose my computing experience i.e., simple or complex, manual or automated, look & feel, and privacy & security.

And #foss of course

@itsfoss First and foremost, Linux runs better on my hardware than Windows did. I like all the selections available for desktops and window managers. Running it at home is a LOT easier now than it was when I first looked at Linux in 2008-2010. With all the different distros available, I can find one that runs on the specific system where I want to install it.

@itsfoss Choice. If 'your' distro doesn't fit you anymore, just take another one.

[itsfoss@mastodon.social]

@LittlePolarBear Indeed, a very nice perk to have!

[itsfoss@mastodon.social]

@kevincrrl hehe well played
