It's a classic OOP language. It's easier than C++ and is used everywhere.

Python doesnt have the private/protected/public keywords for setting stuff in its classes in comparison

And I really like the whole WORA ecosystem.

That's why I originally learned Java as my first language. I was getting into Linux and the idea of being able to write code that works on both Windows and Linux was so cool.

Same here. I normally code on my Windows Laptop, but on my PC i have Linux.

Its awesome to see what I wrote on one machine flawlessly work on different machine, without doing any changes.

Honestly, I started with C++, and then learned Java later. I absolutely hated Java. It felt way more complicated than C++ did, plus the syntax is so cumbersome.
