That’s all. I can’t imagine how the world and also myself would look like without them.

      Doubtful. Without Linux running the majority of the internet, I doubt the desktop scene would look the same as it does today.

      It wouldn’t. According to one source, Linux on desktop has 2.68% of users which translates to 32.8 million people. I’ve seen figures of around 5% as well which almost doubles it.

      That’s more people than most countries in the world have.

      While the percentage seems low, that’s up to 60 million people whose lives are better because they can choose a free open source operating system.

      For some it’s a tiny bit better, for some it’s a lot, but overall it’s (up to) 60 million people who are happier than they would be if they had to choose between EvilCorp1 and EvilCorp2.

        Fair but I’ve never seen them in the wild. That’s still pretty rare. What how much of that percentage is gov users
