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.
