Many, many things necessary to the development of software. My Arch install actually boots faster than Windows and shuts down faster as well with less bloat.You'd know this if you were a computer programmer. The internet you use runs on Linux as well. Also, it's free. Free as in zero dollars and free as in free to modify.To me, Windows is a hacky mess full of bloat while my Arch install is clean and lean, faster and better looking.Marketers depend on your mentality:Cost more = more gooderLike a smart fridge! Look, it says smart on the label! And it's expensive! Very sophisticated! Not like the poors!And like the smart fridge, it uses computing resources and internet data to force feed ads in your face, built-in bloat that slows your machine and intrudes on your mind.
