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.)

Hmmm, the country where Torvalds is from has the highest linux desktop market share? Not that surprising, but still cool!
Still the rate is crazy. Its about 4x the European average.
As usual with StatCounter: crappy data.
This data ought to be wrong… could it be macOS wrongly reporting as linux? Cause a bunch of OSX market share just disappeared?
Yeah, it seems fishy. I find it hard to believe every 5th desktop in Finland runs linux, while only about 10% MacOS.
And that all of that happened in a few months

Kaput seems related in English, maybe?
deleted by creator
It is of german origin but is seeping into other languages (like English, for example).
It is (also) German - kaputt.
Have heard kaput used a number of times in America. Normally when something simply stops working with little fanfare. It didn’t go out with a bang or a screech, it simply went kaput.
How is OS X higher than macOS?
