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

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

Extremely rare map without Australia but with New Zealand.

New Zealand: How does it feel now!

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

TBH kinda relaxing

[–] slazer2au 7 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Lydia_K 38 points 2 months 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.

[–] jaybone 11 points 2 months 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.

[–] canihasaccount 10 points 2 months 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....

[–] expatriado 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tasmania representing all of Australia today

Normally I'd link MapsWithoutTasmania but this threw me for a loop.

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] 15 points 2 months ago

Is this just desktops?

Yes, this is based on desktop use.

[–] AnUnusualRelic 11 points 2 months ago

Minix definitely isn't linux.

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

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

Rare moment of being proud to be a modern Greek!

[–] jaybone 13 points 2 months ago (6 children)

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.

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

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

It makes me pleased that Ukraine is becoming more technologically advanced!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Somehow it's not India, past the north eastern neck.

[–] serenissi 12 points 2 months ago

Data sauce?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

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

They have their own versions with local spyware:

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 months ago

Australia wasn't even invited

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

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

How is it possible that Japan has 0 Linux users?

[–] systemglitch 9 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

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

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

[–] Xeroxchasechase 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

North Korea should be 100%

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh no, they definitely run some Windows systems there... gotta have a dev environment for all that malware they write.
