      The act of designing a product so that the consumer becomes artificially reliant on it is called vendor lock-in.

      The GNU GPL is a different kind of software license. Programmers who use the GPL as their end user license agreement not only allow, but encourage others to reverse engineer their code and make modifications to it.

      A license that allows you to reverse engineer and improve the program is called freedom software or open source (Yes, I know that's a simplification of what those terms mean but I'm not going to dive into that).

      You've interacted with Linux today whether you even realize it or not. Linux is a computer program that has become the industry standard for nearly every kind of computer out there. The only places where it doesn't completely dominate is on the desktop, tablets, and smartphones.

      From digital wrist watches, to servers, to supercomputers, to the tiny chip in your microwave, and beyond. Linux runs them all and keeps the digital world safe and secure while the world is unaware of its existence. It makes up the backbone of digital infrastructure.

      You may be wondering "but what does Linux do?" Linux is an operating system kernel.

      An operating system is a series of programs which manage your computer for you. The kernel is the core of an operating system. Most people are unaware of the term operating system (or OS for short) because most desktop computers are sold with Windows already installed.

      Windows is the OS that dominates the desktop market. Windows is made by Microsoft, and for years has been their tool for vendor lock-in. Vendor lock-in is how Microsoft became so powerful.

      Linux has no vendor lock-in. Every format it saves information in is public knowledge and anyone can write code that's compatible with anything the Linux kernel makes because they know how the kernel works. If you don't like the idea of vendor lock-in then Linux is for you.

      Linux is not made by just one company. People from all around the world make modifications to Linux and send them to the Linux foundation (https://www.linuxfoundation.org/ ) and the good changes are added into the official version.

          It has developers from all around the world working on it, both individuals and companies. If you believe in the power of diversity then Linux is for you. If you don't trust corporations then Linux is for you.

          Linux is designed to be extremely secure. Microsoft didn't make Windows to be secure when it first came out and have allowed security holes to be left in it for years because they didn't care. Whenever there's a security hole in Linux it's quickly found and fixed by the community

          If the Linux foundation added something bad to the kernel then the community would quickly notice, someone would make a new version of Linux without the bad code, and everyone would switch to the new version.

          This is called creating a fork of the project. Forking a project is how freedom software developers are kept accountable. If you want more accountability then Linux is for you.

          Linux doesn't spy on you. If the Linux foundation added code for spying on you then a new fork of the kernel would be created. If you value privacy then Linux is for you.

          Linux is just a kernel and needs to have other programs with it to make an operating system. An operating system that uses the Linux kernel is called a Linux distribution (or Linux distro for short).

          There are many Linux distros out there and there's a wide variety of options to choose from because anybody can make a Linux distro (though some are more popular than others). If you want more options then Linux is for you.

          Most Linux distros are extremely customizable. It's possible to do much more than just change your desktop background. Most Linux distros let you decide what kind of interface you use. Windows only has the one interface (the graphical user interface).

          I'm able to add buttons to my desktop that do things and I don't have to do any programming to be able to add them. If you want customizability then Linux is for you.

          One of the interfaces for Linux is called the command line interface. It allows you to write commands that your computer follows. With the Linux command line you can automate tasks more easily without having to write any new programs.

          If you want to have control over your computer then Linux is for you. It's your computer. You should be the one in control of it. If you want to learn to use the command line then here's a book I read that taught me how to use it: http://www.linuxcommand.org

          Linux has also been extremely educational for me. I've learned much more about how to write good computer programs from Linux than I ever did with Windows. Linux programming culture knows how to make programming easy and fun.

          If you want to use Linux then here's a great distro to start with: https://linuxmint.com  It comes in three flavors: Cinnamon, MATE, and XFCE.
