    Can anybody here tell us more about India, e.g. is the government promoting this, which are their favourite distros - are there local variants we don’t know about in europe, what other foss is thriving best there (and if so, why not fediverse ?) ?

    Bro moving from hungary where tech literacy is low compared to the rest of europe but when people are tech literate they actually know something to sweden where people are absolute tech bros is so painful. I had quite a few friends in hungary who used linux daily, a majority of them not even that deep into it, while here most people dont even know it exists. Every time i open my laptop someone has to fucking point out that “lol you use linux are you a hacker” which gets fucking annoying after a while.

    Is this just desktops?

    Informally, walking through anybody’s house, I can find dozens of linux devices. They’re just white label. Your digital thermostat? Linux. Washing machine? Linux. Wi-Fi access point? Linux. ISP issued CPE? Linux. Switch? Linux

    Audio mixing board? Linux …

    Intel management engine… minux, so basically Linux.

      Meh, I’ve worked in IT infrastructure for science labs and research facilities- researchers are amazingly competent in their fields, and almost nothing else. I doubt many of them run Linux.
