#h3-Why society does need open source and free software-h3#--#--#

Generally spoken Linux is about personal freedom, which means unrestricted and transparent use of productive tools,that includes freedom of choice and reliability.

#imgS-#src-./docs/Tux.png-src#As a counter-image to that, one would think of companies like Microsoft and Apple, where the usage of software, but increasingly hardware as well, are tied to an online account, which means the usage depends on the status of an online account.--#--#

That also means people producing creative content, work or study with those proprietary software are existentially bound and dependent.--#--#

With Linux on the other side one does not need to fear to lose what they have created and/or the means they are creating with.--#--#

With Linux you have a huge selection of software, for developers, musicians designer, teacher and learners, all software is provided. --#--#

An important aspect in Linux is the community, where the members contribute, create new projects, help and get help.--#--#

If you like to get in there is a bit amount of work needed and the will to learn new things...but the reward is huge.--#

This said one can say that getting into Linux was never as simple as these days. Privacy is also guaranteed with Linux which is a very important aspect. --# --#
