Why is Linux popular?

There are lots of reasons for Linux popularity, but the main one is that it gives you a huge amount of software to work with completely free of charge. If you want to render 3D models, Linux has a program for it. If you want to mix music or edit a podcast, Linux has a program for it. If you want to edit Microsoft Office documents, organize family photos, chat to your friends, burn CDs and DVDs, watch movies,edit images or do just about anything, Linux has a program for it. And it's almost certainly free!
