Sure, as our European businesses - under management of big IT groups - are using indian’s sweatshop - that we have to train moreover!!! - for implementation and operational projects. I don’t say there’s not skilled indian, of course not, but they got a “shortcut”.

West is full of cowards and traitors .

hlqxz,

Does it mean Android? Because India mostly uses Android.

Android is not a desktop OS.

hlqxz,

Yes, I didn’t read “Desktop OS”. Sorry about that.

These stats are desktop only

jol,

Android is not reported as Linux.

    This makes alot of sense I’ll imagine the folk using Linux aren’t using it out of choice but out of necessity due to linux being kinder to older hardware

    That explains the popularity of “unknown OS” but not why it swings so wildly

    XTornado,

    Uhm what’s re they using for this report… I would have assumed they would have gone with just taking the User Agent and similar which I guess that wouldn’t matter on the modifications you say.

    Yeah sure but you usually fake a real existing one so it would go into one of the categories not the Unknown.

    The biggest spikes look like the correspond to new year. So my guess is that the spikes are vacations and show the difference between home PC and office PC usage.

    You can see the same spikes on e.g. Googles IPv6 chart - when people are away from work IPv6 penetration goes up, when people are at work it goes down.

    Sir_Simon_Spamalot,

    Damn, that’s a lot, and within a year too!

    Also, at least half of that ‘unknown’ is probably Linux too.

    jack,

    Welcome to the circlejerk thread

    yagav50850,

    What?

    jack,

    Our monthly jerkoff to Linux numbers

    creation7758,

    Nah. The data is from 2022. Still milking last year’s numbers

    Agent641,

    UnkownOS is a great privacy operating system. If users dont know what they are doing, then how can the government?

    Xavier,

    In Canada, Apple is taking most of the increase, I wish Linux was more prevalent but I’m happy to see the downward slope for Windows:

    I just hope asahi Linux takes of because the M3 looks sick but I’ll be fucked if I get sucked into the apple ecosystem. I’d rather be forced to use Windows on arm.

    Here’s what it looks like in Morocco:

    Somehow we prefer using the Apple more than the Penguin.

    ILikeBoobies,

    Why is Chrome OS separate?

    It doesn’t really feel like Linux if you ask me. It’s not even open source, since Google controls everything. You could run Linux apps on it with a special mode I guess, but what bugs me is that they call Linux a “feature” when it’s absolutely not that at all.

    But really, not a single soul in Morocco has even heard of Chrome OS. And even then, they’re gonna hate it.

    ILikeBoobies,

    Linux not GNU

    separating just hurts the willingness to try Linux

    Resol,
    @Resol@lemmy.world avatar

    Sad

    WoefKat,

    Cool that they put FreeBSD in the list anyhow! I’m part of that 0.01% globally (though not in Morocco).

    Resol,
    @Resol@lemmy.world avatar

    You’re the first person I know that uses FreeBSD.

    WoefKat,

    You could be the second!!

    ILikeBoobies, (edited )

    I wish they would include mobile in these stats, it would better show consumer operating systems and the Android bump would let people know Linux isn’t as niche as they thought

    Edit: Apparently they have this but they don’t label it as Linux

    duck1e,

    but Android doesn’t feel like linux does it ? its on very old kernel , its restricted relatively locked down

    ILikeBoobies,

    You can find other embedded devices like that though

    jol,

    Because it’s not the same thing. That’s not what they mean with Linux.

    Lamb,

    Unknown is TempleOS.

    philpo,

    That’s more for the Christian fellas, I think.

    xtremeownage,

    But, it has no network connectivity! That is against God’s will.

    (Thus, no telemetry either)

    Very interesting os though. Lots of very cool concepts

    I feel like UnknownOS users are the Anonymous Illuminati underground users that escape any surveillance.

    But how do we profit off of this ???

    edit: lol sad you all cannot tell this was a joke -_-

    OsrsNeedsF2P,

    We profit through worldwide prosperity

    dutchkimble,

    First, you set up a company, doesn’t matter the name. Hire the bare minimum number of employees maybe one to handle accounting, and one sales person to start. Make sure you pay them either minimum wage or slightly under, with a false promise of introducing a profit sharing mechanism soon to keep them motivated. Then, the magic starts. You handle key clients yourself and make your sales target various demographies - sell this graphic for 1 bison dollar per jpeg. The trick is to sell the first million within 3 months. Show these sales to banks or investors and ask them for a further 500 million to expand and scale up your sales. Then, you vanish to an unknown island in the Pacific. Easy money.

    doppelgangmember,

    Thanks brb :)

    SaltyIceteaMaker,

    Year of the linux desktop confirmed?!😱

    FriendBesto,

    That is impressive since the world share for Linux is something below 4%. So the uptake is over double of that of the rest of the world.

    Makes sense, when I check new distro/apps videos on YT, something like 70% of them are made by Indian people.

    netbsd is just chilling somewhere in the corner, left to rot alone :(

    OsrsNeedsF2P, (edited )

    NetBSD’s license helps it get adoption, but much fewer public forks/natural contributors, so it’s gonna be pretty much impossible for it to catch up

    possiblylinux127,

    I think it actually hurts adoption as is allows companies to steal code
