Why did I fall in love with Linux?
This post tells the story of how a broken CPU fan led the author, at age nine, into the world of Linux. What started as a hardware issue turned into a lifelong connection with an operating system that offered freedom, control, and endless opportunities to learn. The author explains how hacker stories, early experiments, and the deep customizability of Linux kept pulling them back. Linux is portrayed not just as a tool but as a philosophy—a harsh yet generous teacher that pushes you to learn, understand, and take ownership of your system. From mastering the terminal to configuring Neovim, deploying servers, and building systems from scratch with Arch Linux, the journey becomes a path of growth. The post highlights the contrast between the restrictive nature of Windows and the empowering freedom of Linux, the strength of the Linux community, and the author’s belief that Linux is the essential choice for anyone who wants real understanding and control in the digital world.
