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.)
I searched the internet an found and alternative platform to the Threadiverse where this was discussed (something starting with R, I don’t remember).
So actually I don’t know shit about Finland, but it seemed like the only explanation yet that makes sense. But if you’re Finnish I guess you know a lot more about how it works up there!
Some schools or universities might be starting to embrace Linux, but at least in North Karelia all the universities (applied science or not) & high- and vocational schools use MS products
