The truth about linux having 15% market share in India.
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I kind of get where you're coming from. Because you don't see people using it in your vicinity, it doesn't seem popular.
However, as others have pointed out, many many people get a computer just to browse and open a word processor. That would remove lots of windows and mac devices from the stats too. And if corporate devices weren't counted, that'd be a lot too.
Do you believe the majority of people even know what OS they're using?
