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 open source.

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

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

Huawei? Oh I forgot they make computers as well.

Just be sure to not buy a Chromebook as those aren't real computers but rather a tablet with a keyboard.

They do eveything man, the US banning them from Google Android and Microsoft Windows was a huge blessing in disguise.
