Why do you use Linux? [pinned]

My hardware is old and slow, aswell as due to windows updates. My laptop only had like 4 gigs of hardrive space, max.

Because it stays put and lets me work. Also old hardware.

Windows kept screwing me over with their updates.

Same reason like @AnarchoBAT

Got tired of windows and wanted something different.  So far it's better at gaming with a little coaxing, doesn't have all the bloat... and my favorite feature, the absolute creative freedom on the platform.

I was done with Microsoft's shit. I was tired of having them spy on everything I do, and I especially hated everything that Windows 11 stood for. Apple was off the table, hate those cunts too, so Linux was my best option. I'm glad I switched!
