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 was going to suggest tech literacy levels as Finland is basically joint top in Europe joint with Netherlands. But while the Netherlands has above average Linux usage it's not close to Finland.
