If you like customizing and automating things then you should look at linux.

My entire environment was hand crafted from the ground up, so I guess “everything” is my response.

I know. The advantage of Linux is that you can pretty much write a script that sets up the exact same OS settings on new machines. Definitely useful for system admins.

You could probably do a lot of that for Windows or Mac with a provisioning tool like ansible as well.

It's definitely all powerful with Linux but people should definitely try anyway if it's valuable enough for them.
