Glad that there are govt. level systems who make use of Linux (mostly ubuntu ) systems here. For eg. , in kerala, all govt schools and colleges use linux for computer labs and academic activities, i guess the local body administration too use ubuntu.
Only wish we could convince those private sector schools of the money they'll save converting those slow windows systems to linux.
Indian here. There are a lot of Indians that love tech experimentation and "jugaad", and just the mere act of dailying Linux allows us to step up our IT industry game for zero cost.
UnkownOS is a great privacy operating system. If users dont know what they are doing, then how can the government?
I wonder how many of them are using Kali Linux
That is impressive since the world share for Linux is something below 4%. So the uptake is over double of that of the rest of the world.
Makes sense, when I check new distro/apps videos on YT, something like 70% of them are made by Indian people.
Based india
It is hard to say Linux holds market share because Linux is not a bitch to be sold, but it's not hard to guess why people prefer it.
Thank you India
Ofc, you would not want your own computer to have a virus, would you?
Joke, I'm jealous of you and your Government. Germany is doing something, but not nearly enough to push Linux.
Good stuff
We need more Linux marketing and more Linux hardware shops like Tuxedo Computers, SlimbookES, Purism, etc.
Hopefully the Steam Deck is contributing here too.
We really need more marketing of Linux itself. I run ubuntu and run Cyberpunk 2077 natively, with a wireless gamepad.. It's all out of the box, I don't know why people are afraid of it?
Edit: It does take about 30 seconds to load things into VRAM, but still worth all of it.
Year of the linux desktop confirmed?!đ±
India is single handedly maintaining everything Foss.
Think of the opportunity Linux creates in a place like India. If you have some smarts and a good work ethic, Linux and a machine from 2010 allows you to run the very latest software used by tech giants all over the world.
You can self-teach a huge number of skills on Linux and become deeply familiar with the REAL software that professionals are usingâeven in the West. One you know your stuff, you can leverage that into a job that pays fantastic money by local standards.
If you want to be a developer, you can build a GitHub portfolio or participate in Open Source projects.
If you are more entrepreneurial, you can post videos showing others how to use the skills you have acquired. These not only make a fantastic resume but they can generate advertising income. What may seem like a poor return on time in richer countries can provide important income in poorer ones.
If you have not tried it, you may be amazed that you can run up-to-the minute current versions of Docker, Kubernetes, databases, dev in any language ( even .NET ), and almost any other in-demand technology on really old Linux hardware.
Beyond hard technology skills, a Linux computer is just a fabulous productivity tool. You can get hardware and software to help manage your business that you perhaps could never afford otherwise. If you are a creative professional, you have access to amazing tools. If you are a photographer, you have pro level tools. If you are an architect or engineer, same thing. Again, we can say that some of these are not âprofessionalâ but I bet they do the job in markets where few can afford expensive software.
About the only things that push the hardware envelope these days are video editing, AI, and gaming. Even these work better than you may think though. It will take you longer but you can do pretty good video editing on 2010 HW for example.
Market? Redhat and Suse?
I feel like UnknownOS users are the Anonymous Illuminati underground users that escape any surveillance.
And they still shit on the streets
Sure, as our European businesses - under management of big IT groups - are using indian's sweatshop - that we have to train moreover!!! - for implementation and operational projects. I don't say there's not skilled indian, of course not, but they got a "shortcut".
West is full of cowards and traitors .
