On desktop it is 7%. On desktop in Europe it is 10%. On desktop in Finland it is 15%.

For Linux, it seems like Asia is pumping the numbers with 5.8%. Linux use in Finland is 3.25%. Norway is 12.3%

    It's interesting that Asia is boosting Linux numbers when the Valve hardware survey showed the opposite. The numbers were recently updated to include China and it caused every OS to lose ground to Win10.

    China windows is probably somehow more than 100 percent pirated and comes with additional spying and maybe crypto mining in the background.

    I would love it if Valve secretly checked if Windows was genuine and put it in their stats.

    There is a MAS solution for windows that activates it on GitHub. I had to use it when the key I purchased a decade ago didn't work when I upgraded my hardware. I didn't want to pay a second time for an OS that was going to push Cortana, OneDrive, and ads at me.
