Can anybody here tell us more about India, e.g. is the government promoting this, which are their favourite distros - are there local variants we don't know about in europe, what other foss is thriving best there (and if so, why not fediverse ?) ?
If Japan's 0 and it's still visible, what's going on with Australia?
Extremely rare map without Australia but with New Zealand.
New Zealand: How does it feel now!
TBH kinda relaxing
It's like the worst map possible, it has NZ and Tasmania, but doesn't have the Australian mainland.
That's not a real country
if we assume it's the opposite of India at 15% (black) , it must be negative 15%.
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.
I use Linux. I'm a researcher, not IT. Many of my colleagues use Linux.
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.
Shouldn't Australia still be there? I thought that patch didn't drop until 2025
This map from 2040.
The emus went nuclear.
There never was a peace treaty or anything like that to the the emu war. The emus could still be waiting for Australia's unconditional surrender to this day.
There's New Zealand but no Australia, what's the world coming to?

Shoutout to Tasmania though....
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
Rare moment of being proud to be a modern Greek!
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.
China could potentially be explained by them not giving a fuck about software piracy -- at least in the 90s and early 2000s -- so money was never a motivation to move to Linux.
Somehow it's not India, past the north eastern neck.
Ukraine, whaaat?? Have the constant cyber attacks pushed them towards more secure options?
It makes me pleased that Ukraine is becoming more technologically advanced!
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%.
Antartica just sitting this one out.
Australia wasn't even invited
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.
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.
Most of the popular countries I see mostly tried to promote linux/open source in the past.
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.
What does china use? Can't be windows right?
