Why are so many people racist against indians? This thread is a good example.
Indians are present in big numbers on reddit and other websites due to how populated India is, how english is popular there and that they aren’t contained in national platforms like their chinese neighbors. It makes them noticeable for bigots to single them out and target. Just because they want someone to hate and laugh at to up their self-esteem.
Probably trolls looking for attention and engagement. But not being aware that their comments does hurt someone.
I’m a troll and i want my comments to hurt someone

Reported this filth, just saying.

No one asked you
Are you an adult?
Somehow things seem similar (perhaps better) in Greece:
12% in Norway! At least last I checked when this same stat was posted.
How much in Linuxland?
Edit: 3.52% in Finland.
Czech Republic is at 2.53%
This is the birthplace of Red Hat Linux for god’s sake
Rechecked this now, and it’s at about 5% now. The statistics seem a bit weird to me, unless there are some big seasonal changes. Your 12% was recorded in June and July. Maybe with less business activity during these months, the Windows share plummets in favor of home users who are more prone to use Linux.

To be fair here, Greece has much less population than India 🙂
Oh my bad, I misunderstood the concept of percentage.

To put it in right context (relying on Wiki data for year 2021):
Current population of Greece: 10,482,487 (~10.5 Million)
Current population of India: 1,210,854,977 (~1.2 Billion)
Percentage, it’s percentage that is recorded, percentage.

UnkownOS is a great privacy operating system. If users dont know what they are doing, then how can the government?
Also consider the number of people in India. There is a massive Linux user base there.

I don’t have to, you stink from just this comment.
Here’s what it looks like in Morocco:
Somehow we prefer using the Apple more than the Penguin.
Cool that they put FreeBSD in the list anyhow! I’m part of that 0.01% globally (though not in Morocco).
You’re the first person I know that uses FreeBSD.
You could be the second!!
Who knows?
How was this measured? Just asking cause a lot of PCs are sold with Linux there cause it’s cheaper and the user immediately slaps a pirated Windows on after purchase.
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.
I wonder how many of them are using Kali Linux
Based india
netbsd is just chilling somewhere in the corner, left to rot alone :(
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

My guess is click farms with some unknown custom made os that skew that data?
That also might be a source of Linux users hence the relatively high market share of the OS?
Not to mention that India still has a lot of call centers (some for scams) that may use Linux because it’s free (compared to a windows license)
A lot of people who work in those call centres are uneducated and don’t know shit about tech, they’re only parroting off a script. In those call centres they use windows 7 still and don’t even know about the existence of linux. Also piracy is big in India so they don’t care if linux is free. And most of all their victims/“customers”(old people) don’t use linux so they have no reason to either. It’s just the fellow Indian nerds using Linux.
Yeah, if you look at some of those YouTube channels that scam the scammers, you’ll usually see that the scammers are all running Windows.
I saw one where a guy used linux mint and the scammer used the usual tree command but other than that he knew fuck all what he was doing. He was tryna look for notepad. It was hilarious
And from 2026 thanks to Microsoft it will raise more as I can’t possibly imagine everyone buying new computers just for windows 11
It is hard to say Linux holds market share because Linux is not a bitch to be sold, but it’s not hard to guess why people prefer it.
Good stuff
