Why do you love Linux?

Linux is a powerful and flexible system that gets used for all kinds of things. Obviously, many organizations use Linux as back-office servers, such as web servers, file servers, authentication systems, application servers, and other IT infrastructure. And there are countless users who rely on Linux for their day-to-day desktop work. And hobbyists like to use Linux as an embedded solution to automate small systems like filling bird feeders or watering plants.

We want to highlight why you love Linux. For example, maybe you love a particular Linux app. Or maybe you want to highlight that Linux is open source so you can explore the source code. Or maybe it’s because Linux runs everywhere, which means you can use a favorite laptop or NUC or… Or maybe you want to highlight a Linux distro you love. Or maybe it’s that you love the Linux command line. Or maybe it’s that Linux let’s you give new life to old hardware, keeping old systems useful and out of the waste stream. Or… share something else you like about Linux.
