I’m new to programming and getting into tech im general. Everyone I see here uses Linux (mostly Arch) and I don’t see why. Is it more secure? Are you too stupid to not download viruses? Is it better for programming? What’s the point?
And no this isn’t bait I genuinely don’t know.

it is better for programming
One argument is the ethical argument. I support free software and everything it stands for. I also don't want to be spied on and datamined.
1. linux is better for programming
2. other than retarded manchild autist ricers, no one actually uses arch. it's bleeding edge (i.e. it gets the latest updates really fast), but it breaks with every other update
inb4 it's stable. it isn't.
3. if you want to get into programming, get a linux distro like ubuntu, mint or debian. avoid bleeding edge garbage like arch
It's better for usability in every way, but the real reason to use it is freedom.

Install MacOS if you want a Linux distribution that actually allows you to do things.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
MacOS is not a Linux distribution you fucking retarded jew piece of shit. Neck yourself.
