Linux.
Simply because it was the cheapest option when I was starting out. I wanted to buy a new laptop that I really had my eye on. But I only had about $400 on me. The laptop was $500 but it came with windows installed. I asked the vendor if they would drop the price if they could not include the windows CD with it.
I got the laptop, went home and spent days figuring out how to install ubuntu on it.
7 years later, here I am running 3 different distros on my machines cause it's fun. Also cause the problems I face with linux are also uniquely mine. If something isn't running, it's probably because I messed up a configuration somewhere. It holds me accountable for my messes and frankly it is a great, albeit sometimes irritating, way to learn how to fix issues.
