If Japan’s 0 and it’s still visible, what’s going on with Australia?
Extremely rare map without Australia but with New Zealand.
New Zealand: How does it feel now!
TBH kinda relaxing
It’s like the worst map possible, it has NZ and Tasmania, but doesn’t have the Australian mainland.
That’s not a real country
if we assume it’s the opposite of India at 15% (black) , it must be negative 15%.
Japan being 0 is actually shocking lol
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.
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.
I use Linux. I’m a researcher, not IT. Many of my colleagues use Linux.
BOOM! In your FACE! Where’s your god now, huh?
And anyone in academia who uses a data set knows python. Sometimes a lot of python.
We have stats for computers on the internet via gs statcounter, it’s all mac to use web
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
This map from 2040.
The emus went nuclear.
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…
Tasmania representing all of Australia today
Fuck.
Normally I’d link MapsWithoutTasmania but this threw me for a loop.
Are they your Florida?
Worse, Alabama.
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.
Is this just desktops?
Yes, this is based on desktop use.
Minix definitely isn’t linux.
Prolly desktops on the internet which don’t block too many trackers
not to mention…Every 5G iPhone has modem firmware running linux.
and of course every Android phone.
But yes anything else with an IP address that’s not a Windows/Mac/BSD computer… likely Linux.
A lot of those are running either minix, BSD, or some other ultralightweight OS. and those are definitely not Linux. Not even close.
Minix has not been updated in 10 years. It should not be used on anything connected to the internet.
Most “ultralight stripped down OS” will be built from linux these days. Usually Tiny Core Linux or Alpine.
What’s this Minux you keep talking about?
I think you overestimate the money companies are willing to spend on memory and CPU for white line appliances. I actually have friends who have worked in R&D in the industry, cheap bastards wouldn’t splurge for an AmpOp if a BJT could do the job. If something required brains, a cheap small SoC was the way to go, with all its 64-256KB of memory.
Rare moment of being proud to be a modern Greek!
Ukraine, whaaat?? Have the constant cyber attacks pushed them towards more secure options?
It makes me pleased that Ukraine is becoming more technologically advanced!
Somehow it’s not India, past the north eastern neck.
Hey, why isn’t China more green? I’d think the CCP hates western spyware OSes.
I would guess that too but apparently Windows is at ~85%.
They have their own versions with local spyware:
If we’re into conspiracy land, Linux is totally a western OS.
Data sauce?
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.
China could potentially be explained by them not giving a fuck about software piracy – at least in the 90s and early 2000s – so money was never a motivation to move to Linux.
Windows costs about as much as a meal and the key lasts decades. Money was never the motivation.
When I started doing stuff with computers, I was about 15 years away from my first paycheck. I very rarely paid for software, and when I did it was almost always a game.
Having set up japanese input method on both ubuntu and arch not to long ago: It’s a bit janky. Defenetly not just “hit install”.
Mosc isn’t bad. I even set the keyboard shortcuts to their Windows IME equivalents cause it’s easy to remember.
it’s not, the setup is just a little bit jank on kde wayland (and it’s already better then on kde X11)
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.
Australia wasn’t even invited
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.
tech literacy ≠ how much a country uses Linux.
Yeah but isnt just tech literacy, its what you can do with it. You are literate if you can read dailymail but its a much higher literacy level if you can reed shakespear. And with this analogy for some reason hungary has very few people who can read compared to most western countries but has a much larger percentage of people who read shakespear. Idk what the cause is tho.
