It does more of what I want, with less time and work to maintain, more reliable and lower cost than the commercial alternatives.
I find that reinstalling and setting up Linux again is a lot quicker than Windows. I put Windows 10 on a spare drive fairly recently, and the amount of restarts it needs to get all the updates is flippin’ nuts. Windows nearly crashes for the first few hours, until I get all the updates installed and drivers set up. Too much background crap. In linux I can be ready in about 20 minutes.
Same. And it requires a carefully configured router/firewall to install Windows without infection/corruption before all the current security updates are installed.
oh great thanks for mentioning it, I’m behind a router so I thought I was pretty safe. Though I do share a place with 10 other people so who knows what’s inside this house.
