Debian along with most Linux distributions are based on free and open source software (FOSS). Debian specifically is a front runner in the freedom game. FOSS is great, I love it to death and I’m sure most of you do as well. Many people are happy with the non-free software they run on a daily basis. What is more important to you, freedom in software or freedom of choice? As much as I love FOSS I value my freedom of choice in what I do on my computer and in my daily life much more than free software.

Linux is great, but it is not always the right choice. Die hard Linux geeks like to think that everything in the world is better on Linux. This is not the case. Someone who is well versed in Linux, having it on everything they can fit on to from computers, to mobile phones, game consoles, and more, can yield some great benefits. In certain cases Linux may not be the best choice for the so called average user. This has nothing to do with computer knowledge or technical ability but is more personal, happiness.
