I know 100℅ of the world top 500 supercomputers use linux, and around 65℅ of world servers. I want more info like this to help me campaign towards GNU/Linux use. Thanks.
Lot of health systems,government office,universities(mostly), defence (mostly) use Linux in my nation (🇮🇳)
I would avoid government distros due to censorship and surveillance
The government distros (BOSS and IT@School) are for government offices and schools, respectively. Also, both are open-source. Mostly they add better support for Indian languages, and some educational software.
Most governments use some sort of enterprise Linux distros, not their own distros. Even when they do, it’s their distros. Why would they worry about censorship and surveillance?
No, you need to worry about censorship and surveillance when using a government distro. Especially, when it comes to China or Turkey.
On your own machine, sure. But I think OP was referring to government departments
I believe Germany is working on that. Recently they have started to migrate 30K systems or so from windows to Linux.
Brazil is trialing Linux right now too.
LiMux, Munich already had perfectly fine systems running Linux but M$ corruption made them switch back
Schleswig-Holstein in Germany seems to be switching to Linux and LibreOffice.
Microsoft News, ironic
North Korea uses 100% Linux
Russian military stated in the news they use AstraOS, some another fork. All other government institutions are too used to MS Word\Excel and the population in these places are usually aged conformists, so it won’t change soon. Some schools experimented with Linux but for their budget it makes more sense to keep using outdated Windows PCs. With the whole culture built around formatting and reprinting, signing papers in closed formats that don’t render the same even in different versions of Office, the whole generation should die off for some change. One exclusion - cloud editing in cooperation in Google is popular, but that’s about it.
