I'm grateful for being able to have a choice like Linux or even BSD family instead having only two proprietary choices: Windows or MacOS.

That’s all. I can’t imagine how the world and also myself would look like without them.

Doubtful. Without Linux running the majority of the internet, I doubt the desktop scene would look the same as it does today.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
