Yea, I think the open source thing is what hooked me. I moved over to Linux years ago, then my office programs, then most of my programs became open source, and while open source projects have their drawbacks, I’d much rather be on an open source network or use an open source program than centralized.
I’m the same way. I’ve been using Linux for ~15 years, and I generally prefer open source when deciding between options. I’ll make exceptions (e.g. I love Steam because of good Linux support), but most of my software is open (Blender, Firefox, etc).
I admit to a dual boot just so I can easily use windows for games. But for animation and literally everything outside of gaming on a computer, I use. Linux. Just makes more sense. Is blender specifically for 3D modeling or does it have animation capabilities as well? I’ve seen people make amazing things with it, but I like tinkering with 2D animation so I haven’t touched blender yet.

Yeah, Blender can do animation too, they even made a short film all within Blender (Big Buck Bunny).
I don’t know if it can do 2D animation though.
Oh cool, I’ll go look up the bunny flick
