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
Haiti:
Here are
all the countries (shorter means less Linux adoption):
![GNU/Linux share in counties ranked - bottom part](http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/linux-counties-rank-bottom.png)
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)
