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.)

What happens in Finland?

I can imagine Linus being from Finland is probably having some influence.

Did that only kick in in March 2025? That seems like a rather sudden onset of Finnishness for a 55 year old guy.
