There’s the whole open source thing. Linux is built for anyone in the world to use and for anyone in the world to help build it. (There’s some weird issues with US sanctions that effect how much Russians can do, but they can contribute).
Beyond this, the main advantages are:
Better than Mac OS: runs on other, cheaper, hardware
Better than windows: no shitty ads or AI and feels much more responsive
Better than other open source OS: it’s complicated, but basically Linux is bigger so it has more people working on it, and more support for hardware.
