World runs basically only Linux. 84% of all OS-capable electronic devices worldwide run Linux. Android’s 95% smartphone share. 99% supercomputers/top clouds (Top500). 80-90% networking/industrial IoT etc. Windows, macOS and iPhone only exists because FOSS community allows them to exist. People that are not using Linux are like modern day slaves. They only exist to serve us. They are baby ducks that are too stupid but we can use them.
Conventional statistics significantly underrepresent global Linux deployment due to systematic exclusions across these critical categories:
>ChromeOS: Classified separately despite being Linux-based.
>Android: Rarely attributed to Linux in market reports.
>PostmarketOS and mobile Linux distributions: Excluded from desktop/server statistics.
>Embedded Linux implementations: (OpenWRT, LibreCMC, WisCAM, PineCube, libcamera, etc.) - Typically categorized as "firmware" rather than OS.
>Regional concentrations: Over 5.3 billion Linux devices across China and India are often excluded from global totals.
>Server infrastructure: Linux powers 99.99% of internet servers but is absent from consumer device counts.
Furthermore, industry methodologies consistently undercount devices where:
>Telemetry is disabled (default behavior for most distributions)
>Hardware operates in air-gapped/offline environments
>Custom builds lack vendor identification
>Devices reject statistical tracking (common in privacy-focused deployments)
This results in a systemic undercounting effect where there is over 80B+ actual Linux Devices.
