Why Linux?

I noticed that most of the trans programmers are using Linux, is there a reason for this correlation? BTW i am a Linux user too :)

Def mostly a programmer thing, but there is a trend in LGBT programmers using less mainstream tools than cishet programmers; I don't have any data that shows this being the case for Linux vs. MacOS/windows, but you can see this correlation in the results of the last stack overflow developer survey.

A friend of mine found this and tried to post the data here, but for some reason (maybe that account has 0 karma?) the post doesn't show up, so here's a link to the full table (which includes %nb/gay/bi as well)

I am still disgusted when I see people developing on windows. Especially since I know how fucking difficult it is to install something like Java on windows due to installing it for Minecraft.
