How many of u here are from a non CSc field, but got obsessed with GNU/Linux and FOSS,if so why?

I came into this bcoz of Kali Linux, jus was curious about the hacking stuff going on back in school and started looking into it and discovered this whole new world. But it was really after when i felt like shit ,knowing how big brothers where treating us, i was into all this privacy based and ethical things. What i mostly like about gnu/Linux or FOSS is that u can be part of the community and help each other. And you can pay each developer or community of developers and support them, so no single entity is bagging everything . If this was the way everything was, all the central power who have no moral or ethical vision for humanity would have never existed. So thats y i got so obsessed with all this even tho its generally considered irrelevant to a person from my field. Whats ur story?

    The whole Edward Snowden situation freaked me out too…It’s a shame what happens to whistleblowers. No wonder many people are afraid to speak out. My first distro was Linux Mint. I also installed it on my mom’s computer and she really likes it.

      I never tried Linux mint or even Cinnamon DE. Recently, I was watching a youtube video and the youtuber was using Cinnamon DE. It looked clean af. I will definitely give Cinnamon a try (:
