Stable/speed and open source
I use it on my hosting server because it is much more stable than windows os...
I use both windows and linux as dualbooting and viritualbox. Anyway, I use it since it's open source / free not loaded with bloatware unlike microsoft, but I do wish it had steam support.
Because my computer is pretty old and when running a certain Linux distro it does not show its age at all. And because open source kicks ass!

I'm back. The downside is that I'm also old now.
You need to check out codeweavers application crossover games. Although this is a paid application it supports steam and therefore the valve games that need steam to launch into online mode.

Same here. Linux fo' life. Fo' LIFE!!
Unless they screw it up somehow. Unity is a step in that direction, for instance. :S

I have many uses for Linux, but one of the main reasons is as a mediacenter. XBMC runs natively under Linux ( & MacOS too) making it a truly crossplatform mediacenter application, but there is also the added bonus that you can use MythTV as a backend for a TV card under Linux which of course you cannot under Windows, thus adding live TV to XBMC.

I use Linux because it frees the machine and it allows you to do anything that you want to do.
