I'll tell you why I use it: to use open source software. I noticed whatever freemium program I used on Windows that was cool eventually got enshittified and became spyware. Like fucking clockwork, the author of uTorrent sold out and all the new versions became cancer
Linux has better support for a lot of open source software, you can use a package manager to download most of it, and flatpak for a bunch that's not there
It's just so much easier than trying to find the official site for the program you want.
