Linux or GNU / Linux (more correctly) is an open source operating system that is developed by thousands of programmers and developers all over the world. Linux is more flexible and powerful than Windows or Mac! Windows severely handicaps its own command line. it doesnt have the out of the box power or the expandability bash has. windows also fuses their GUI to their backend to the point where most things cannot be done without a graphical user interface. in linux every configuration file can be opened and edited with a normal text editor. try doing that with window. 

 
So the most important 22 things that you can do with Linux and you can not with Windows or Mac are:

1.
Linux has given an unprecedented level of power to it's user. You can do almost anything you want once you become "su", the super user. This allows many users/admins/coders to work wonders. You can control almost any aspect of your os with root priviliges. Though in the hands of a non-experienced person, this can be disastrous but "with great power comes great responsibility"

2.
Update the system legally to the latest version available for free. The latest version of the operating system will run faster than the previous version on the same machine.

3. Easily install and run different graphical interfaces.
Fast - Much faster (lighter on system resources) than Windows, Doesn't slow down after a few months like Windows does

4. Install
20 apps with one single command. Update all the programs automatically.

5.
Linux kernel is open source. Remember, "it's only work if someone makes you do it". Also, because of the huge sample of human intelligence being put in, it's no surprise if it does come out to be so stable and sturdy. This has also had the effect on it's performance on low hardware systems. Linux is known to be able to run on the lowest hardware configurations one can imagine.
 
  6. Install the same version of your operating system (Ubuntu) on multiple computers without worrying about the restrictions "license or operating keys".

7. Give copies of the operating
system or other software for your friends without fear of violating any law or property rights.



8. Full control over your device without worrying about backdoors and open gaps can be exploited by malicious software, companies or governments.

9. You do not need an antivirus software or to restart your computer for several times while updating the system with the latest security updates.
Viruses - They don't really exist in the Linux world.
 
10. It is not necessary to defragment your hard disk.

11. You can install and uninstall programs, knowing that this does not leave any trace on the record!

12. Perform a complete reinstallation of the system in less than an hour.

13.
Linux is known to be able to run on the lowest hardware configurations one can imagine. Also, just like for andriod, there are a lots of "apps"/commands designed by a lot of users for almost every possible task that one can imagine. 

14. You can customize it in absolutely any way you want, you can also access the site software developers to ask questions, contribute ideas and participate in the creation of programs.


 
15 . There are many open source free programs.

16. Use "dpkg -get-selections> pkg.list" command to get a complete and detailed list of all the programs you have installed, you can creat a backup copy of it on a separate partition.

17. Change the size of the hard disk partition or without deleting or data loss.

18. Use your
Linux system  for more than five years! LTS versions!

 19. "linux live cd" feature to test the operating system to know what I am about to install.



20. Get the entire source code, including the operating system kernel.

21.
Browse the Internet during the installation of the operating system.

22.
Your computer is always under secure hands if you have linux 

Plus dude!! It's free :D What else do you need :)
