If Japan's 0 and it's still visible, what's going on with Australia?

[–] [email protected] 84 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Extremely rare map without Australia but with New Zealand.

New Zealand: How does it feel now!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

TBH kinda relaxing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's like the worst map possible, it has NZ and Tasmania, but doesn't have the Australian mainland.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks 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....

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Tasmania representing all of Australia today

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Is this just desktops?

Yes, this is based on desktop use.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Minix definitely isn't linux.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] muhyb 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

They have their own versions with local spyware:

Data sauce?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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.

Antartica just sitting this one out.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Australia wasn't even invited

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.

How is it possible that Japan has 0 Linux users?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] TwilightKiddy 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It just has to be below 0.01%.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] muhyb 6 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn’t expect Linux to be more popular in the Arab World than China or Japan.

How accurate are the numbers?
