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.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] canihasaccount@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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....

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago

Is this just desktops?

Yes, this is based on desktop use.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Minix definitely isn't linux.

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Prolly desktops on the internet which don't block too many trackers

Rare moment of being proud to be a modern Greek!

Ukraine, whaaat?? Have the constant cyber attacks pushed them towards more secure options?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

It makes me pleased that Ukraine is becoming more technologically advanced!

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.

Somehow it's not India, past the north eastern neck.

Data sauce?

[–] janAkali@lemmy.one 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Hey, why isn’t China more green? I’d think the CCP hates western spyware OSes.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I would guess that too but apparently Windows is at ~85%.

[–] infeeeee@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

They have their own versions with local spyware:

Antartica just sitting this one out.

[–] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Australia wasn't even invited

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

What does china use? Can't be windows right?

How is it possible that Japan has 0 Linux users?

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It's literally not possible if humans live there lol. I hear humans live there.

[–] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It just has to be below 0.01%.

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Most of the popular countries I see mostly tried to promote linux/open source in the past.

[–] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

North Korea should be 100%

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?
