Why learn Linux at all?

No licenses, no subscriptions, no activation keys. Download it, use it, share it — forever.

Secure by design

A strict permission model and rapid updates keep viruses and malware mostly a Windows problem.

Runs the world

Most servers, all top supercomputers, Android phones, smart TVs — Linux is everywhere.

Revives old PCs
