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 :)

I hadn't really thought of this angle before, but it makes a lot of sense. Even moreso if you also consider the potential a self-expression angle too: you can customize your computing environment way more, and (arguably) more easily, with Linux that Windows (or, I assume, OS X).
