I am also OS agnostic with regard to function, I take a right tool for
the right job approach. However Linux was the first open source OS I
got my hands on and I feel a certain loyalty towards it, not enough that
I would choose it over other things if I felt they were better suited to
the task.
Basically the more rock and roll part of me sticks up for Linux
because A) it made computers fun again for me personally and B) The
Linux community helped me when I needed their help. I was going to drop
CS at Uni because I was bored of it all but because Linux got me
interested again I didn't switch, something I am very glad happened.
