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/).
