One simple reason : Linux for life

[BGFG]

I can leave my machine on weeks at a time and it won't get buggy, slow down or overheat.

We have many of these, but what's your simple reason/s ?

It's FOSS so I can get the latest version free + no antivirus ever needed + quicker support than other OSes

Any Greek members, or those with a Greek background, help me out explaining the words.
