- Linux, the free operating system, has found a loyal following since its creation in the 1990s. But who are the people who actually use Linux and what motivates them to use this operating system?

I started using Linux on pandemic because I was really addicted to gaming and I choose to change to linux to stop my bad habit of playing competitive games. So far, I am way better in my life.
Now I use arch btw.

Now you compete for the high score in r/unixporn right?
I'm just a "normal" user-not the most knowledgeable about technology, but curious and I enjoy learning new skills. I prize the ability to control my own desktop experience. I'm self-employed, and have found open source tools more than adequate to help me run my small business.
Switched to Linux about five years ago when I started work in web development.
From my experience, programs just don't look and feel quite as nice than on Windows or Mac and most things are slightly to a lot more complicated.
But on the other hand, the level of automation you can implement is just nuts. Especially when orchestration tools get involved, you can scale that over as many machines as you want.
And man is it stable!
For some work related tasks I'm still forced to use a Windows VM once in a while. Seeing there how much they are pushing ads into your system is nowadays is shocking.
And since I like tinkering with my system, Apple's machines are way to locked up and expensive.
I tried Ubuntu because "windows vista" was forecast to be $399. I moved completely to Ubuntu January 1 2009.
It has its flaws, but there is no other choice for free people.
I’ve used Linux for a few years on some of my computers but it’s only this year that I got rid of windows and moved all my systems to Linux. It was a bit challenging on a 2 of my computers but I figured it out and haven’t really looked back since.
One category you missed is the indirect Linux user, who uses an embedded or online service provided by companies using Linux as an affordable base.
The majority of phones, routers, smart TV's and numerous other devices all use Linux, and thus so do you.
Then you have Netflix, Facebook, Google, and most websites, which either use Linux directly or just build on top of a Linux base.
Due to the fact that Linux has won in pretty much every market except the desktop, the odds are you are using it even when you don't know it.
I use both linux and the BSDs. No M$ windows anymore, ever.
I started using linux because I needed to run my own VPN server. Then I became amazed how things simply “work” on Linux. Then ssh tunneling and networking were the main reasons I got into linux. And it is amazing. The most efficient server operating system, lightweight, fast, and packed with thousands of apps.
I’m a Libertarian and agnostic as well as a Linux user.

Privacy conscious power user here. I wanted something that was not Windows for all the obvious reasons. I tried a few different distros in the 2000s and eventually settled on Mint back in 2016 or so. I have installed LMDE and the main one with little to no issues on two different machines. With no bloatware and privacy concerns - XZ Utils aside, it just works as an end user no different than using Windows or Mac for your daily driver.
KDE 6.0 (Fedora, Neon, or Kubuntu) will replace windows 10 on some of my machines going forward.
am i a linux user? i dont know about that. all i know is, the device im using use LINUX OS. does that means im a linux user or not?
its like is there a "real" phone users? ask people who have phones if they are a real phone user. maybe if they still resort to computer to send emails, they probably not. i think.
Yes, I am proud to be a Linux user since 2007.
WIndows 7 went out of support, so I installed Pop OS. What else could I do? Buy Windows 8...? 😆
Last week I change a bit my mind about security of open software....in particolar malware 😂
Yeah, sysadmin
Totally agree. Linux users often boast how flexible and customizable the OS is. That's all well and good. The issue is that most people want a straightforward OS that works well first and customizes later. Linux is not such OS.
Honestly Ubuntu or similar "just works" distros rival if not beat the straightforwardness of windows these days. The real problem is the fact almost no devices ship with linux out of the box, and lack of compatibility with professional applications.
I disagree to a point. It worked right out of the box - or bootable USB, and I was able to customize it later. But I don't use Arch, by the way. :)
@@ethan_webbThough I can´t fully agree that such distros beat windows, I can agree on your latter statement. Shipped with Linux devices would greatly help break the barrier for the average windows user. However, this kind of downplays the importance of a streamlined user installation, especially when popular Linux backers speak of how easy it's supposed to be and then proceed to rant about distros, desktops, KDE, gnome, grub, etc just to begin. Things that the average windows user knows nothing about and probably shouldn't yet. The lack of compatibility is even more serious, but perhaps it's something only big companies can change, similar to how Steam is doing with gaming. Anyways, my main point is that the "switch to Linux" process still isn't hazzle free enough to warrant the attention of the average windows user.
@@MikeWood Wish I could say the same. I decided to install linux mint a few days ago to return to linux after abandoning ubuntu back in 2013. Took me near to 3 hours to "finish". Granted, some issues were due to Intel doing a mess with their sh*t. However, the documentation that was supposed to help me with that is awful. Yet, what kept and keeps me going is the hate I feel towards microsoft for pushing things onto my PC without my permission and dealing with my data. Because, like seriously, I still can't get my games to work and the audio quality is trash in comparison, yet, those reasons are enough for me to keep troubleshooting.
Linux is a 'tool'. One should use the best tool for the job one knows how to use. Linux is certainly not the best OS for all use cases.
