==== What can Linux do? ====
  * Linux excels in customization, resource efficiency, and hardware freedom, allowing users to tailor everything from the desktop environment to low-level kernel scripts. It routinely outperforms proprietary operating systems by eliminating telemetry, and breathing new life into older hardware.
  * There are a huge number of Free/Open-source software applications that can be installed easily, and update when you want them too.
  * There are only a few 'subscription based' applications in Linux, most applications you install are yours for free, forever.
  * Linux offers the ability to completely replace practically any software to suit specific productivity needs.
  * It provides superior tools for native keyboard-only navigation and complex task automation
  * It has lower system overhead than Windows or macOS, meaning it runs smoothly on older hardware that no longer supports newer proprietary OS versions.
  * Unlike Windows, Linux does not force disruptive system reboots while you are working. 
  * As an open-source system, Linux does not bundle bloatware or default to harvesting user data for corporate advertising. Users have full autonomy over what code runs on their machine.
  * Complete access to the source code allows advanced developers to easily debug issues, compile their own tools, and experiment without paying for licensing fees.
  * Automation through custom scripts is significantly more flexible, allowing deep system-level control that isn't typically possible in gated, proprietary platforms.
  * The benefits of utilizing Linux span a wide array of technical and practical use cases, for instance of the 500 fastest computer systems on the planet, all 500 of them run Linux/Unix of some sort, not a single instance of macOS or Windows ([[https://top500.org/]]).
