You use Linux because cuz Linux is good.
I use Linux because the BSDs are less popular. I want to get paid and have corporate applications on my desktop.
We are not the same. 😂
I left for Linux because Windows bad, stayed on Linux because Linux good.
I only switched this week, and I kinda disagree with the meme.
It's both.
I'm only dual booting because I'm a gamer and some games only run on Windows.

I use linux because I can make it look like Vegetable Valley from the Kirby games.
I use Linux because it plays games better.
We've come so far for there to be truth in that statement

Hey long as you get here on Linux it is all good lol.
Switched in 2002...because I wanted to fuck with web dev and IIS sucks donkey nads. LAMP stack good, IIS/ASP/MSSql bad.
I use Linux cause I wanted to prove I can, I hate both Linux and windows for different reasons but I at least can use both!

When was it not mainstream? First there was computer then Linux.
One of the biggest reasons I switched was of all the MS telemetry bullshit. That and I don’t know if I ever legally paid for a copy of Windows and I was tired of playing the key gen / cracked ISO game.
I’ve used Debian flavors of Linux for servers before so switching to it as my full time desktop OS was not hard. That, and, I don’t really use my desktop for stuff that uncommon. Most of the stuff I need I can get out of the box from the software center.
