In all other countries worldwide, Linux market shares are well below 10%.

Linux market shares in July 2025:

Africa: 3.1%

Europe: 4.6%

Asia: 2.4

North America: 4.9%

South America: 3.6%

Oceania: 2.3%

Worldwide: 3.9%

What happens in Finland?

UPDATE: There was apparently a similar development in 2022 according to the stats when Linux market share in Finland went up to +18 by July and then dropped sharply to 4% by the end of the year. I don't understand that, but maybe the data is flawed? (My apologies for any confusion this may cause.)

Are you still using Sailfish? I used it for about 5 years but eventually caved in and switched to GrapheneOS.

I wish the tablet had made it, I feel like it would be an easier market to break into as the app gap matters less.

Same same, on Graphene now. There is a new Jolla phone in the works now (you can vote for features such as screen size on the forums at jolla.com right now!), that might spark a mini-renaissance when it comes out and gets it's 15 min media fame :)
