The purpose of Linux is to be a free and open source OS kernel on top of which free and open source software can provide whatever user experience they want to provide and users are free to pick one.

Not a climatologist, but I would presume a lot of it is because there also happens to be a lot of water there. For one, the rotation of the earth kinda pushes the oceans into a squashed ball shape, so more water ends up at the equator. The distance to the core at the equator is roughly 13 miles greater than at the poles.. But also, in our current state of tectonic drift, there's just lots of ocean at the equator surrounding various bodies of land. And the extra heat due to more direct sunlight for more of the year means more evaporates from oceans and enters the water cycle. All it needs then is to meet colder air above land, and we have lots of atmospheric currents that end up helping with that, and those areas tend to be significantly wetter.

For another, possibly better-researched answer, here's an answer to a similar question on Quora.

There's no question about it. You'll never want to poop publicly again and scrape poo from your bum with TP like a caveman.

Another strategy is to make it a goal to find out. Plan a trip there and let yourself get excited about the possibility of it being just as fun. Chances are, it'll probably be fun, just in a different way than it was growing up.
