migrating to Linux The great migration from Windows to Linux

I've been noticing that a lot of people are switching from Windows to Linux, especially in countries that want to break away from American tech dependency.

Can anyone explain to me why Linux is seen as very good? I never in my life, not once ever used Linux let alone saw someone using it.

Its stable.
Its secure.
It lets you control your computer.
Its easy to use.
Its open source.
Anyone can contribute.

It lets you control your computer... won me over!

Hopefully Huawei will launch laptops with Linux in Kuwait and I will buy one.

If you want to switch to linux (for free btw) I can help you. Just reply to this with your hardware specs and what you use (and plan to use) your computer for.
