It does what I need it to do, and that's it

They lied to me. It's just a kernel and not even free software.

Does what I tell it to do and doesn't get in the way.

Weird, confusing and complicated at first
but after I got used to it became quite fun
Kinda like my ex

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.

made me hate every other OSes because they're too locked down and linux because it's shit

Intellectually satisfying: it not only made me realise how slow and locked down Windows is, but it taught me about a new world of open-sources software, gave me something fascinating to learn about and introduced me to some very intelligent and informative communities/individuals [not on Jow Forums though].

Made my shitty, weak laptop run at a reasonable speed and it's useful for fixing broken windows machines.

Can't imagine going back to Wangblows.
