From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

surprisingly russia is at 5th.
Speaking of countries, I'm surprised that China isn't in the top 10, especially considering their efforts to reduce reliance on US tech.
Maybe it's somehow related with the Great Firewall and they are not included in the statistics correctly.
I'm sorry I didn't notice. Then it's a little unexpected.
