The ownership. It's like owning a house vs renting. I can completely make it my own. There's nothing stopping me from making it exactly how I like it. I fire up my PC and it's cosy af.

Everything that has to do with software development. It's just a far superior experience compared to any other OS. Sometimes when I would help someone setting up their dev environment on Windows or Mac, and I just hate every single step. I can't stand Windows and Mac after using Linux for 4+ years. They have just too many unnecessary stuff that distracts the eye and the mind and takes up too much space, visually and storage wise. Stuff that 99% of people don't even want.

All of the above, and: central update. You update your system, including all tools. No „update first“ on every other start of a program. That‘s so interrupting to the workflow.

I can make it fit how I work. Turn on/off services, tweak the desktop, plays well with older low-end machines.
