    A couple more reasons
    1. It's lightweight which means you'll get better performance
    2. Linux is way more secure than windows/macOS
    3. (my personal favorite reason) Linux has incite customizability so you can make it look and function however you want
    4. Since there are so many distro's there is probaly atleast one distro out their that perfectly fits your needs
    5. You aren't forced updates, you can update whenever you want and you don't even have to reboot when you update
    6. Linux doesn't try to force you to use [insert Microsoft product here]
    7. Linux uses package managers instead of downloading an installer on the web which is easier and allows you forbstuff like automatic updates

    Another reason is customization. You are not stuck with the same old desktop. Linux has many desktop options. And if you're a power user you can use a titling window manager and configure it to your desires.

    I can use simplewall or portmaster.

    I can customize anything on windows, that's not unique to Linux.
    I was hacked on Linux coz it never has an antivirus, and it was by my friend, and I never knew.
    I don't have time to fumble in forums to install a 3mb app. That turned me off completely.
    I don't see any use for linux for day to day coz all windows apps I have been using for the past 5 years aren't supported and are huge, wine and bottles don't help, unless you're technical, want a portable OS, running infranstructure. Microsoft uses linux, I use linux in VM, but I had to stand for windows on this one.

    However, it's a sad fact that Stallman has not received the recognition he deserves for his pioneering work. Often, the term "Linux" is used generically to refer to the GNU/Linux operating system, ignoring the GNU part of the system. This can be seen as an injustice to Stallman and the GNU project, which have significantly contributed to creating a computing environment based on software freedom and sharing. Therefore, it's important to give proper credit to Stallman and the GNU project for their crucial role in the modern computing ecosystem. If we were to call "GNU/Linux" just "Linux," then we should apply the same naming principle to the Android operating system for phones since it uses the Linux kernel. However, it should be noted that Android is much more than just a kernel; it is a complete operating system with a diverse software ecosystem and a wide range of components that go beyond the Linux kernel. This analogy underscores the importance of recognizing the significant contributions and complexity of operating systems in their naming.

    -But GNU does not sound good.
    -Is it fair to not take into account that Richard Stallman founded a philosophy, the GNU project, and Richard Stallman wrote an entire operating system based on freedom? Richard Stallman dedicated his life to creating GNU, and yet, credit is often not given where it's due.

    Linux is also a lot more easygoing than Windows in terms of updates and its App Store. Don’t want to update right now? That’s ok! Linux lets you update whenever you want to. It never forces an update install on you.
    Also, can we all agree that Linux had better app stores than the Microsoft Store on Windows? They are easy to navigate, and it has system app packages along with flatpaks too! There is far more to discover on there.

      Depends on your current operating system, i only use Windows so i only know how to do on Windows PC, but Not on Mac. So First of all choose how you want to Change. Therer are several ways. First is deleting your current OS and installing Linux instead, which isnt recomended. So i will Just give you another was on how to do It.
      !! i recomend you downloading a VM Software Like virtual Box and Run the Linux you want to Run there to See If you even want linux(vms have some limitations). There are a Lot of Guides Out there to do that, and also how to Install linux instead of vm!!
      First of all you will need a already working Computer. Then you will need a USB flash Drive, with (depending on the Linux distro you choose) ID say around at least 16 GB. Then you can either decide If you want to Split the current Drive in your PC or use a external one. I will Tell you how to do It with an external one, so youll also need one of those(should have a decent amount of storage, If you want to use it ad your Main OS). So what you want to do, is Download the Linux distro, from the Website of the distro you want(e.g. Kali Linux: kali.org) and Just Download the Main Version. It will Download a file(prob .iso) then you want to Download a Tool called Rufus(you can also use other Tools but thats the in i think is the best.) Then you want to Open Rufus, select the USB Drive, and then select the File you downloaden. Then you want to click on Start. !!be aware that it will dekete all the Data on the USB Stick!!. Then after its done, Power Off your PC and restart it again. It should automaticly recognise the USB Drive and Boot from there. If it doesnt, Go into the BIOS and select it aß the Boot Drive. Then it will Guide you through the Installation. !!When you Install it make Sure you choose the right Drive. Choose the other internal or external one i talked about earlyier, or choose your Main internal one(recommend )to deleted all Files on it and Install linux there(Not recomended)!! Then it will have installed the Linux distro there. then restart your PC If it doesnt automaticly and Boot from the Drive which you installed Linux, on and there you have Linux. If you installed it on another Drive, you can choose that one to Run Linux, or choose your old Drive to Run Windows (If you didnt deleted IT).
      Hope it helped
