As a Dane i can say that maybe its because Scandinavians are generally pretty tech savvy and good with digitalisation. Also Scandinavians has a low tolerance for bullshit.

Also, a lot of Scandinavian libraries are switching their public desktop PCs to Linux.

You reset their screensaver settings twice, you don't get to do it a third time

[-] whydudothatdrcrane@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

This sounds valid. I wonder how many Scandinavians switched to Linux because of Windows 11.

[-] TDCN@feddit.dk 1 points 2 years ago

Well, I'm one. Fed up with windows BS.

Yup. It’s the reason why Denmark is the most developed country in North America as Canada and the United States worship the aristocrats’ bullshit too much.

Did you seriously just name Denmark a country in North America?!

[-] Beaver@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Denmark shares a land border with Canada on Hans Island also France shares a maritime border with Canada.

You can't seriously call them "countries in North America" though, that's just ridiculous.

France is quintessential North America.

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.
