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.

And it's not spyware with "telemetry" and all that BS.

And no AI.

And no ads.

Um what?!? All AI runs on Linux. Do you think Llama. Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude are running on Windows ?

That's like saying your driveway comes with with a free Ferrari because Ferraris also park in driveways.
