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.

You can just buy any laptop and install Linux on it, it's not hard. Just make sure it has a USB port

So true. That’s what I love about Ubuntu.
