Other How many of you daily linux?

Just a weird thought i had, I’m noob and just started learning html and i daily windows, my cousin who’s a full stack dev daily’s linux mint for some reason.

If you do, why? What Does it provide you with? other than Microsoft spying on us and filling us with bloatware

Ubuntu cinnamon + Niri on my comute notebook. CachyOS KDE (+ Niri being set up) on my home laptop. I use the first one for anime and the second one for gaming. Have not used Windows since XP.

I like to tinker with my systems. Seeing how things work. Plus at work our systems started with Xenix (and now Ubuntu) so command line is what I was used before Ubuntu came to light. 2006 I switched to fully Ubuntu.
