I use Linux because it plays games better.
We've come so far for there to be truth in that statement

I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.
It's both.
I'm only dual booting because I'm a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

I use Linux because I care about privacy.
You use Linux because you want to rice.
We’re not the same.
I left for Linux because Windows bad, stayed on Linux because Linux good.
I use linux because I can make it look like Vegetable Valley from the Kirby games.
You use Linux because cuz Linux is good.
I use Linux because the BSDs are less popular. I want to get paid and have corporate applications on my desktop.
We are not the same. 😂
Hey long as you get here on Linux it is all good lol.
Switched in 2002...because I wanted to fuck with web dev and IIS sucks donkey nads. LAMP stack good, IIS/ASP/MSSql bad.
One of the biggest reasons I switched was of all the MS telemetry bullshit. That and I don’t know if I ever legally paid for a copy of Windows and I was tired of playing the key gen / cracked ISO game.
I’ve used Debian flavors of Linux for servers before so switching to it as my full time desktop OS was not hard. That, and, I don’t really use my desktop for stuff that uncommon. Most of the stuff I need I can get out of the box from the software center.
I use Linux cause I wanted to prove I can, I hate both Linux and windows for different reasons but I at least can use both!
