    Mainland Australia simply does not exist. It has been removed from the planet.

    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.

    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.

      I know a couple of Japanese people running Linux on their desktops. So, I say the counting method is borked somewhere.

    Ironically, if we had data for Antarctica, I wonder if it’d be damn-near 100% with all the researchers there.

      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.

      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.

    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.

        Windows costs about as much as a meal and the key lasts decades. Money was never the motivation.

    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.

      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.

        Minux 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.
