Do you or do you not think it is superior, and why? What do you like about GNU/Linux systems?
I personally like it more than Windows or MacOS for many reasons: it's secure, it's open source, and its software is free but actively maintained and just as good as its Windows equivalents. There are many distros for beginners, with tools to help first-time users and a graphical environment included. You can choose Debian or Ubuntu for it's stability, Arch Linux/Gentoo for it's bleeding-edge software and fully customizable install process (and the Arch/Gentoo Wiki), Tiny Core or Slackware for it's low resource usage, or even build the entire system yourself from source. Linux systems will never spy on you and collect your data. Even resource-heavy distros like Ubuntu run noticeably faster than Windows on the same hardware. Linux can run on just about any hardware, supporting more cpu architectures than Windows. You can even use Linux to power machines like smart fridges, smart home systems, routers, servers, robots, kiosks or many other things.
Overall, I'd say it's the perfect OS for pretty much any task: art, music/film production, coding and development, and literally anything else. I have one complaint though, and it's that it's less suited to gaming. The only existing methods for playing Windows games is either through Wine which has less compatible titles and will actually run slightly slower, or by setting up a Windows VM which is tricky to do properly, requires a seperate GPU for the computer and PCI passthrough, and will run even slower. However, there are plenty of emulators available for classic computers and consoles.
That's my opinion, and I'd love to hear yours
