For those who aren’t aware, the map presented below is inherently distorted (sphere mapped onto a flat surface) as countries closer to the poles look far bigger than they really are.

Countries closer to the equator are a lot larger than they seem on this map.

In Africa Android is already dominant. In other relatively poor countries Android is very prevalent. Here’s Haiti:

Here are all the countries (shorter means less Linux adoption):

Summary: Today we examine which countries have the least Linux adoption (% shown above) and which ones have close to 90% Linux penetration (mostly Android), based on July 2023 data from statCounter (here’s the spreadsheet with the chart)
