The careless user who doesn't mind foolishly forking out hundreds of dollars for an operating system, who likes to droningly drape themselves in absolute arrogance and feels that computers ought to be used for nothing more than insecure web browsing, is a user with no place in the Linux world.

When Linux is employed as one's primary operating system, the user becomes empowered. Any dream you envision is no longer murdered by profit motivated licenses and a closed, black-box style architecture. Your imagination becomes the only barrier.

Highly valued feedback from Linux users frequently results in the improvement of Linux. Weakness are not concealed and patched out of sight with band aids waiting to fall off. Design flaws are learned from as the system continuously grows and evolves. Linux strives towards existing as the ideal operating system for every possible application of an operating system.

The various distributions provide us with easy ways to test out some of the countless possible configurations one can build with Linux. This healthy competition keeps development vibrant and focused on the end goals of stability, security, performance and freedom.

When one wisely decides to make Linux their primary operating system, everything becomes possible.
