For those who aren't aware, the map presented below is inherently distorted (sphere mapped onto a flat surface) as
countries closer to the poles look far bigger than they really are.
The northern countries are not as big
as they may seem on such a biased map
Countries closer to the equator are a lot larger than they seem on this map.
In Africa Android is
already dominant. In other relatively poor countries Android is very prevalent. Here's

Here are
all the countries (shorter means less Linux adoption):
Shown in blue is the % (total share) of Android, ChromeOS, and GNU/Linux combined
Summary: Today we examine which countries have the least Linux adoption (% shown above) and which ones have close to 90% Linux penetration (mostly Android), based on July 2023 data from statCounter (here's the spreadsheet with the chart)
