1) The price is right.

2) With the right distro, there are seemingly limitless possibilities for customization. It is a great activity to focus your autism at when you aren't watching chinese cartoons.

3) Since picking the "right" distro means nothing works out of the box, there is always something to do. Again, more esoteric bullshit to focus your autism at.

>>59982446
This statement was valid 10 years ago.
Now we've got shit like Mint and Ubuntu that flawlessly work out of box.

The truth of this is that nearly everyone who browses this site is NEET or sometimes a wageslave.
Everyone else is just LARPing.
People who are employed would have no reason to come here t b h.

So that means that all the Windows users here are either a NEET or a McCuck.
This brings me to my other point, which is that a lot of these arguments also point out that the latest hardware requires Windows. The only people who need this kind of hardware are people who play video games.
So the people bashing Linux are NEETs who play video games, and the Linux users are NEETs who watch Anime. Stop LARPing faggots, you know who you are.
