That's not a real country
-
if we assume it's the opposite of India at 15% (black) , it must be negative 15%.
-
Japan being 0 is actually shocking lol
-
Ironically, if we had data for Antarctica, I wonder if it'd be damn-near 100% with all the researchers there.
-
You gotta use Linux in penguin lands or they will peck you.
-
Researchers probably run windows or Mac, but I’d guess the admins who maintain their infrastructure probably run Linux for themselves and on the infrastructure. And probably various tools that control things like core samplers and shit.
-
Meh, I’ve worked in IT infrastructure for science labs and research facilities- researchers are amazingly competent in their fields, and almost nothing else. I doubt many of them run Linux.

Mainland Australia simply does not exist. It has been removed from the planet.
-
Is this just desktops?
Informally, walking through anybody's house, I can find dozens of linux devices. They're just white label. Your digital thermostat? Linux. Washing machine? Linux. Wi-Fi access point? Linux. ISP issued CPE? Linux. Switch? Linux
Audio mixing board? Linux ...
Intel management engine.. minux, so basically Linux.
-
Is this just desktops?
Yes, this is based on desktop use.
-
Minix definitely isn't linux.
-
Prolly desktops on the internet which don't block too many trackers
-
not to mention...Every 5G iPhone has modem firmware running linux.
and of course every Android phone.
But yes anything else with an IP address that's not a Windows/Mac/BSD computer... likely Linux.
-
A lot of those are running either minix, BSD, or some other ultralightweight OS. and those are definitely not Linux. Not even close.
-
Minix has not been updated in 10 years. It should not be used on anything connected to the internet.
Most "ultralight stripped down OS" will be built from linux these days. Usually Tiny Core Linux or Alpine.

Rare moment of being proud to be a modern Greek!
-
Ukraine, whaaat?? Have the constant cyber attacks pushed them towards more secure options?
-
It makes me pleased that Ukraine is becoming more technologically advanced!
-
-
Somehow it's not India, past the north eastern neck.
-
Why is China and Japan so low? Is that just bad reporting? Is it a language / character support issue?
I’d think China would want their own government run distro they can control.
-
Data sauce?
-
Hey, why isn’t China more green? I’d think the CCP hates western spyware OSes.
-
I would guess that too but apparently Windows is at ~85%.
-
They have their own versions with local spyware:
-
If we're into conspiracy land, Linux is totally a western OS.
-
-
It makes sense. That's where the Indian YouTube explainer guys live.
Also, shame for us, although it matches the general run-by-old-people oligopoly vibe we have going in Canada.
-
Antartica just sitting this one out.
-
Australia wasn't even invited
-
-
How is it possible that Japan has 0 Linux users?
-
It's literally not possible if humans live there lol. I hear humans live there.
-
I know a couple of Japanese people running Linux on their desktops. So, I say the counting method is borked somewhere.
-
It just has to be below 0.01%.
-
-
What does china use? Can't be windows right?
-
Kinda surprising but it is Windows: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/china

Most of the popular countries I see mostly tried to promote linux/open source in the past.
-
Bro moving from hungary where tech literacy is low compared to the rest of europe but when people are tech literate they actually know something to sweden where people are absolute tech bros is so painful. I had quite a few friends in hungary who used linux daily, a majority of them not even that deep into it, while here most people dont even know it exists. Every time i open my laptop someone has to fucking point out that "lol you use linux are you a hacker" which gets fucking annoying after a while.
-
tech literacy ≠ how much a country uses Linux.
-
Yeah but isnt just tech literacy, its what you can do with it. You are literate if you can read dailymail but its a much higher literacy level if you can reed shakespear. And with this analogy for some reason hungary has very few people who can read compared to most western countries but has a much larger percentage of people who read shakespear. Idk what the cause is tho.
-
-
-
North Korea should be 100%
-
Oh no, they definitely run some Windows systems there... gotta have a dev environment for all that malware they write.
-
-
I didn’t expect Linux to be more popular in the Arab World than China or Japan.
How accurate are the numbers?
-
They seem exaggerated.
-
-
I always thought Red Star OS would be mandated
-
I badly want to see Karela’s market share.
