why do you install Linux?

Because games are for children.
Real men watch anime.

couldn't you do the same on windows or Mac

Originally I installed it because I was a developer, and development on Windows is a pain compared to Linux

Then I fell in love with it, and now I wouldn't replace it for anything else for multiple reasons. It's ultra comfy, I've gotten more paranoid about spying/botnet, the alternatives have become more and more shit, it's the only OS that gives *me* control over my computer, etc.

Well obviously you should stick with windows if you're gonna crap out at the first symptom of baby duck syndrome

Because of Bash and the /proc directory

Because I got too frustrated with windows' updating process. What a piece of shit that is.

wanted to try it, wanted to try some software

didn't really cater for my needs fully which i kind of expected from the start. can't be arsed to dual boot so i just stick with one os.

I tried to install Debian on my school laptop today, got an error saying something about no compatible kernels found :^(

Because it's the only OS that supports my SBC

I started to hate how windows and IE were constantly crashing. At that time I was new to computers.(AOL) days. Hell I didn't even know there was anything besides Microsoft. A friend of mine told me there was so much more out waiting to be explored. I was introduced to linux, open source, and free ware and never looked back. I'm not a PC gamer. So there is no point for me to use windows. If something is buggy I can change it without the risk of being vaned and sued in court. I can give copies away to friends and family. It is in my opinion the only way to go.

I install Linux inside VM's just to waste time when I have nothing better to do.

It's nice way to kill time fixing all this stupid basic shit that is broken or not optimal. I would never use it as my daily driver though because it needs to just work.
