The freedom to do without! The freedom to do less! The freedom to be more complicated! The freedom to be more difficult! The freedom to not look as good! The freedom to pretend that it's about 10 applications rather than 10,000 applications! Yea! FREEDOM!!!
Remember the Mac? Remember why the Mac wouldn't/didn't overtake the PC? It wasn't about price or "freedom", it was about the available applications. Macs are OK and all but, there are tens of thousands more applications available for Windows. That's why so many people choose Windows over the Mac. The same is true about Windows over Linux and the survey only scratches the surface. What you call freedom feels rather oppressive or at least restrictive to me.
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
