GNU/Linux in Finland in 2024

Finnish computer users are subjected to very aggressive entryism (see Nokia), not merely some "charm offensives", from Microsoft (now Google with a datacentre). That's strategic.

Here's where the market share estimates stand:

Finnish GNU/Linux share

So that's over 7% in total for some kind of GNU/Linux. █
