FOSS is a really big reason to run Linux. In ten years you can trust that your Linux install will be running and up to date. In ten years there's a non-zero chance Microsoft will have moved to a forced subscription model for Windows.

It also just runs faster, can fully update itself and all installed software with a few button clicks or one terminal command, and has tons of options for people who have more technical skill.
