[–] incompetent@programming.dev 1 point 1 day ago (1 child) I didn't know it was so high in India. Interesting. Any guesses as to why it's so much higher there compared to the US and EU? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 1 point 1 day ago (1 child) No clue, I'm still puzzled by that and open to theories. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] incompetent@programming.dev 1 point 1 day ago (1 child) My initial guess was that they have a big tech community there. A lot of the IT call centers are outsourced there. And with all the tech people they probably gravitate toward Linux. Just a guess though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 1 point 1 day ago* Yeah I was initially thinking the call centres don't wanna deal with expensive windows licenses and prefer to just use Linux, or maybe all those scam call centres need operational security and therefore Linux, or maybe there is some cultural thing where people naturally gravitate to open source? Or maybe there was some censorship implemented into Windows systems for India and everyone is just bailing by switching to Linux or something but honestly none of those theories have a lot of weight behind it so my guess is as good as the next guy. permalink fedilink source parent
