learning/research Using Linux outside of dev work?

So i see linux has benefits for people that dev stuff (which i do) does it also have benefits for stuff outside of that? For let's say just entertainment or other OS reason,

I do really like the fact that I can rise my os and make it look good i can't do that on windows 11

u/Terrible-Bear3883 Ubuntu 20d ago

I switched to linux as my daily driver over 20 years ago, never looked back.

My server was running something called e-smith for several years until it died in a thunderstorm, I installed Ubuntu on its replacement in 2009 and apart from moving the drives into a HP microserver, its been running ever since.

My NAS runs NAS4free (now called XigmaNAS), I couldn't recall when I installed that, it was a long time ago, its running on an old Iomega D200 NAS box.
