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.

With the largest group of people graduating with an engineering degree, you're telling me they don't use Linux? Just check the stats at NSF for the number of degrees awarded in S&E.
India alone has 14% in the desktop market share for Linux. China's market share is not easy to tell, thanks to the firewall, but 90% of government computers use Kylin and other Chinese-developed distros.
