I use it for its elegance mostly.
I can configure it to only contain and show the stuff I actually need and use.
So it feels like an OS that's for me, while Windows definitely shows someone else designed it with their own motives, which don't align with mine.
You can hack into Windows quite a bit, too. But it's clearly not designed for it to be done by end users.
If you want to change a deeper setting, instead of running a short terminal command with all its options documented right in the man page, you'll have to create a registry key named HFEsghireuHJHFIUEDnfu4835 and assign it the value 3.
I've hopped around quite a bit, but keep coming back to Debian and Arch. Arch is the most elegant distro under the hood IMO, and Debian is the most relaxing.
