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.

When I started doing stuff with computers, I was about 15 years away from my first paycheck. I very rarely paid for software, and when I did it was almost always a game.

Having set up japanese input method on both ubuntu and arch not to long ago: It's a bit janky. Defenetly not just "hit install".

Mosc isn’t bad. I even set the keyboard shortcuts to their Windows IME equivalents cause it’s easy to remember.

it's not, the setup is just a little bit jank on kde wayland (and it's already better then on kde X11)
