The ability to be flexible is a must-have characteristic for working in any field.
Whether you’re in a technical or creative field, being able to adapt and evolve is a key component to increasing your productivity and your overall success.
Which is why it makes sense that you’d want your computer’s operating system to have the same characteristic. This is where Linux fits in.
Linux-based operating systems (often called Linux Distributions, or just Distros) are quite popular among programmers and developers since their announcement in the 90s. The Linux kernel itself is designed to be flexible and open for modifications and contributions, thus it can run on any hardware. The same principle is applied to almost the whole software stack above the kernel that constitutes the Linux Distribution as a complete product. In general, it is designed from programmers for programmers and freely available to everyone.
