Why Linux is my favorite OS and how start?

First of all, why i fall in love with Linux <3

Linux is a open source OS Kernel Unix based created by Linus Torvals in 1997 and released on GitHub and this OS turn so popular because is 100% free to download, make your own OS called Distro(Distribution or Linux Distribution) and every Distro are ruled to be Free and a lot of Linux based Distros was make, the most popular is :

Debian
Ubunto (i love this one)
Linux Mint (i'm using right now)
Arch
Android (yes, the most popular mobile OS is Linux based) and a lot more, you can see Here

Linux Mint (Similar to Windows and for Low end PCs) - Debian based
Ubuntu (for coders and retro users) - Debian based
Kali Linux (Security and Pentest) - Debian based
Arch (for coders or customization) - Base
Manjaro (same as arch but low weigth) - Arch based
Tiny core Linux (for revive your stone pc) - Base
POP!_Os (similar to Windows and for home use) - Debian based
