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 honestly doubt that every 10th user in Norway is using Linux.

    I assume data comes from statcounter.com. I looked at Norway there.

    Browser market share: Firefox June 2023: 2.65%. September 2023: 36.27%!!! December 2.46%.

    This does not compute. Similarly for Desktop OS. Linux in Norway has 3.41% is September, but 16.99% in November?
