    You are here agreeing with me on why linux is a inferior experience on software and hardware front. You are softening the blow by blaming developers and capitalism. You dont have to ask muta, I work in the govt health sector in india and here every pc runs ubuntu. This is same for other sectors. Everything is done on the browser. Also gaming here is dominated by Mobile so these numbers are surely overinflated.

      You realize that India in itself only counts for a small part of the global % as well, right?
      I’m not agreeing with you, you’re perspective is filled with fallacies, over simplifications, and massively unsupported assumptions as well as unsupported claims, in addition to a lack of understanding of how percentages work. Your perspective is extremely narrow and flawed.

      Also gaming here is dominated by Mobile so these numbers are surely overinflated.

      The global desktop market percentage and Steam user survey do not include the mobile OS market share. First off, Steam is purely desktop, they do not provide mobile apps.
      Second off, if the entire OS global market was used then Android would be on top, trumping everything as it’s the #1 OS in the entire world by a huge margin, Windows doesn’t even compare in this regard.
      Please use some fucking common sense, GODDAMN.

        I am using statcounter for india numbers not steam. Steam numbers are not overinflated by these office pcs. Also india have 1.5billion people so any gain here have a significant impact on stat counter worldwide numbers.

          The population of India is irrelevant, the India Desktop PC market only accounts for approximately 13.9 million users total. Linux holds 15.64% in India, therefore 15.64% of 13.9 million is only approximately 2.17 million, which again does not account for the 12+ million increase of users.
          The global desktop OS market is estimated to be 1.23 billion users total.
          The Linux desktop OS market share is 4.3% of 1.23 billion which is approximately 49.3 million users. 1% of 1.23 billion is 12.3 million, therefore Linux grew 12.3 million in the last 8 months.
          India only accounts for 2.17 million of the 49.3 million global total.
          If Linux adoption grew to 16% in India that’d only be a 53.24 thousand increase.

          Again, you have a complete lack of understanding of how percentages work.

          Edit : actually I miss calculated because Linux is apparently 4.05% now, not 4.03%. that grew really fast.
