Within the past few months I have switched my main computer operating system from Windows to Linux. Specifically, I have Arch Linux installed on my laptops. I wish someone would've told me about how great Linux was sooner because I like it better than Windows.
The thing I like most about Linux is all the tinkering that I can do with it. From my perspective, it has been much easier to learn how to dig into the inner workings of my Linux system than on my old Windows system (I have no idea how to really tinker with Windows). This makes me feel that I have more control over my computer than I did before with Windows. Further, just by its nature, there is a lot more customization that can be done to Linux to make it suit exactly what I want and need. There are a lot of different options for Linux systems, ranging from the conventional to the new and radical. To me, this makes Linux and its various distributions far more interesting than Windows ever was.

There are a couple other things worth mentioning. First, my laptop has a noticable performance boost in using Linux over Windows. I also don't have to deal with bugs that would pop up in Windows. Second, Linux is free to install and use; not only that, it has a ton of free software applications; I actuallly have better applications on my Linux machine than I did on my Windows because it has been so easy to find high-quality free applications; also, it is super easy to install and remove applications on Linux.
