I am going to list a few point off my head. There are thousands more, believe me.
Linux is successful because-
- It is free and open-source. That means it provides a powerful OS to users for free.
- There are thousands of distributions. Because of being open-source, anyone can modify and share his own version of the OS. Therefore you can have a distro that compliments your personality the best.
- It is highly versatile. You can find Linux from a smartphone (Android is based on Linux kernel) to desktop and from the entertainment system in your car to the most powerful supercomputer in the world.
- Scientists prefer to use Linux because of its stability and customizability. This gives them peace of mind for the mission critical tasks that they have to perform.
- Most of the internet today runs because of Linux. Linux is preferred in Web Servers because of its stability and easy maintenance.
- Random Trivia: Did you know that you can update your Linux OS without having to reboot? Again an excellent example of easy maintenance on Linux!
The only area Linux lacks in is gaming. But that area of Windows supremacy is in threat from upcoming Steam OS. And do you know what it is based on? Linux, of course!
