Dessimu: You just described a new kind of a cyber drug. Genius!
If more seriously, I used Linux for a while when started coding Java. I was told and taught how to use Linux for my advantage and how awesome it is. For that moment I used Lubuntu. After a while I told myself: "When I get a second, better computer, I shall use that one with Windows for gaming and this one with Linux for work." In other words, I liked Linux.
Funny thing is, I do not have a big relation to coding (I only know a bit of html/css via codecademy) and my university studies also have nothing to do with coding - I study History- so that advantage of linux (that it is a better coding environment) is one I won't have much use for... I also am pretty much self-taught in regards to linux (if I understood correctly, someone else mentioned linux to you), because as I mentioned no-one else I know in r-l knows about it (maybe the computer science professors in my university have heard of it, but history students don't really brush shoulders with comp-sci professors), so I learnt stuff via googling what I wanted to know. The choice of Lubuntu was also interesting -it is lightweight, but kind of lacking in eye-candy, and another thing I like in linux is the wealth of customization/beautification options in comparison to windows.

Despite my lack of relation with programming, I also like Linux -it is different from what I'm used to (WinXp and 7) but this difference spices things up a bit, and is also a viable option in case I decide I don't want to go with Win10 in the future (I still use Win7 atm, and it satisfies my needs as well, despite lacking eye-candy...)
