Perhaps the biggest feature of Linux is its ability to do whatever you want, however you want. After a *tiny* bit of tinkering, you'll be able to set up your computer exactly how you'd like it!

And this is only the beginning — it's not just appearance you have control over, although both GNOME and Plasma also come with their assortment of applications that have designs that perfectly mesh with the desktop, with global theming letting you click a single button in your settings menu to change colours or styles across all your apps.

## Open source

Not only that, desktop Linux was built by thousands of volunteers, each contributing their own code to make the best product they can. Because it's completely open source (anyone can see or edit the source code), it's inherently more secure as simply more people are looking at it to fix issues and squash bugs.

Learning Linux is a great opportunity to jump into learning more about computers because of the knowledge you gain over time of how your computer works on a fundamental level as you inevitably start troubleshooting *when* something breaks. And perhaps you'll be the one to contribute back upstream to the project too, if you fix a bug or add a new feature, and have your own code distributed around to millions of other users.

With dozens of well-maintained versions of Linux operating systems out there, you'll be sure to find one that suits your needs. To try GNOME, [Pop!_OS](https://pop.system76.com/) or [Fedora](https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/) provide a seamless out-of-the-box experience. To try Plasma, [Kubuntu](https://kubuntu.org/) is a fantastic starting point. To get a macOS-like feel, [Elementary OS](https://elementary.io/) gives you that Apple vibe while, like every other Linux OS, is completely free of charge, and lets you try it out before you decide to install it.
