In all other countries worldwide, Linux market shares are well below 10%.
Linux market shares in July 2025:
- Africa: 3.1%
- Europe: 4.6%
- Asia: 2.4
- North America: 4.9%
- South America: 3.6%
- Oceania: 2.3%
- Worldwide: 3.9%
What happens in Finland?
UPDATE: There was apparently a similar development in 2022 according to the stats when Linux market share in Finland went up to +18 by July and then dropped sharply to 4% by the end of the year. I don’t understand that, but maybe the data is flawed? (My apologies for any confusion this may cause.)
I can imagine Linus being from Finland is probably having some influence.
That and European countries wanting digital sovereignty.
Seems plausible, but why now?
Did that only kick in in March 2025? That seems like a rather sudden onset of Finnishness for a 55 year old guy.
Suddenly perkele.
Lol fair point.
