"When looking at desktop Linux by itself, any analysis of the subject quickly leads to this question: why do users choose one version over another? There are as many answers for this question as there are users to give them, but ultimately it should boil down to just a few key decisions which must be made. Considering this, it may be surprising to some people to find out how successful Ubuntu Linux has been relative to other distributions."

I think it is popular since it is easy to use and does everything for you which makes it perfect for newbies and casual users. I prefer Fedora since it has more advanced options. I also dislike the overly preachy tone of Ubuntu's website which keeps reminding me we are the community.
Also what has made it rise quickly is a lot of money funneling into their organization from that rich benefactor guy. I forget his name. Money talks.
