Dear Amit,
I use Linux for the following reasons:
(i) It gives me freedom to find the reasons to use it :)
(ii) It helps my country's economy.
(iii) It helps my country's freedom.
(iv) It helps innovation and creativity.
(v) It is progressive. I can go on adding what I want and remove
what is not needed so that I can run it on an embedded system or
on a supercomputer. I have the choice to do what I like.
AND any group of this kind helps me learn more.
Best regards,
Atul
