I picked up GNU/Linux initially out of boredom, but now I would cite other reasons for using it, primarily because I want to contribute to the free software movement and because I find free UNIX-like operating systems superior to Microsoft Windows in many respects. I don't have a job in computers and I'm not a computer science major, but instead I'm a student majoring in history in college. Computers are just a hobby on the side for me.

I use Linux and FreeBSD at home, and Microsoft Windows XP at work, since I have no choice. I like freedom in my operating system, and by that I mean the choice to use a different window manager on the fly or change my hardware without having to get Microsoft's "blessing". Also, Linux is made for programmers. I write software for a living. I too was a CS student once.

im a physiotherapy student in bradford and ive been using linux for a year or two now. started using it because i became an expert in reformatting my c: drive and installing AV, firewalls, anti spyware and still getting arse raped everytime i went on the net.
i still have windows as a dual boot system but i use it purely for playing halflife2 and X2, but every time i use it i feel dirty
in short its stable and cuts the malware, whilst giving me geek bragging rights and a mystical aura of computer knowledge in pc retards view(even tho i dont
)
You know, aliens are going to come to earth in 50 years and kill the hell out of us for DDoSing their networks with this SETI crap

i just got tired of windows and wanted something new.
I am also studing IT part time. You can’t call yourself an IT expert if the only thing you know is Windows.

windows is:
boring
simple (for some people a + for me a -)
unstable
crapy
insecure
expensive
and has eliminated the command line :-/, linux is all that and more, even though games are a ***** (im a gamer) its work it, and my desktop is 100x cooler

The ultimate phunny would be to get bluescreens during the install, that would rock :rock:
