    Because it’s free. That’s the beauty of FOSS software. But only is it user freedom respecting but also often free of charge.

    In third world countries like India where only a small percentage can afford a Windows licence, Linux can thrive. And once people see it can do anything that Windows can, and far better with no security concerns, plus they can modify and build upon Linux, they tend to adopt it with passion.

    If you’re starting a business in India and have little money but need an OS to run your business, Linux can do that for you for free.
