Not every Linux user became one out of pure curiosity, love of technology, or belief in the open-source philosophy.

I sure didn't. Windows slows down over time. So slow you wonder if you have a virus at times. Clearing the cache,virus scans etc, etc every two months gets old and it's never fast. I'm using Zorin. It's okay and I'm a beginner. I just do simple stuff. Nothing techy. But it's as fast now as when it was installed so that's a big plus for me.

I'm one of those that became a Linux user out of pure curiosity, love of technology, and belief in the open-source philosophy. All three.

I've been lucky to find a career (Linux sysadmin) that enables that as well.

We only switched to Linux because were were disgusted with Microsoft.
