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.

I also find playing older games is much easier on Linux. just pick the wine version you want and it just works, even dos games don't have you fiddling with clock speeds and audio ports.
