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.)
Am I misremembering or did Finland begin migrating a large number of their government systems to linux/FOSS software?
Not us, but some other European countries are doing it. I feel Finland is going to be the last in line to give up Microsofts and Facebooks despite Linus and Jolla / Sailfish 🙄
Are you still using Sailfish? I used it for about 5 years but eventually caved in and switched to GrapheneOS.
I wish the tablet had made it, I feel like it would be an easier market to break into as the app gap matters less.
Same same, on Graphene now. There is a new Jolla phone in the works now (you can vote for features such as screen size on the forums at jolla.com right now!), that might spark a mini-renaissance when it comes out and gets it’s 15 min media fame :)
I think it was Denmark and/or a province (?) of Germany
