This is probably not the best Choropleth map, but it should give a decent understanding about the share of Linux user within that particular country

How to read?

This map compares the Linux share of that particular country - this is not a world-wide population distribution of OS user. You’re supposed to read it more like: “Within the ‘X’ country, there is a ‘x’% of Linux user”, not “‘X’ country has ‘x’% of Linux users”

Assumptions
  • Some regions, like for example, Kosovo has the same value as Serbia, as it is not recognized by Statcounter Global Stats.

  • Likewise, a few countries and islands were not recognized by Datawrapper, like for example, the Virgin Islands. So, I just chose to simply ignore those values.

Countries with user share more than, or equal to 6%

Note: within their own internet users

Countries % of share
Jamaica 15.2%
India 14.51%
Seychelles 13.34%
Norway 11.91%
GREENLAND (DNK) 11.53%
Greece 9.51%
Panama 8%
SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE 7.97%
Azerbaijan 7.91%
Ukraine 7.75%
Belize 7.66%
Malta 6.95%
Turkey 6.4%
Honduras 6.31%

    I don’t like the idea of free things having a “market-share”. That’s like comparing knife cuts to bullets shot.

      If you’re selling software into that market and deciding whether to support Linux, it’s important.
