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% |
You shouldn’t have left out Antarctica :(
Hello, I’ve updated the map. Antarctica is now visible, but you’ll be disappointed.
Ah right,it only shows desktop usage. I remember reading that at some point Antarctica had the highest percentage of Linux users of all continents.
