- Package management

- Everything can be done via CL in case of emergency

- Switch terminals via F1, F2, F3... if the GUI terminal (F7) messes up

- Use whatever window manager I want with no hassle

- Most distros recognize hw and install drivers automatically (versus needing a rescue disk to install Windows)

- Develop apps locally using exact same environment used on server

- No worries about losing support for my hw (try installing Windows 8 or the latest OSX on an old machine)

- Option to show WiFi password (why the f can't you do this in windows?)

- Fingers crossed for more Steam games coming soon
