    Why is China and Japan so low? Is that just bad reporting? Is it a language / character support issue?

    I’d think China would want their own government run distro they can control.

      China could potentially be explained by them not giving a fuck about software piracy – at least in the 90s and early 2000s – so money was never a motivation to move to Linux.

          When I started doing stuff with computers, I was about 15 years away from my first paycheck. I very rarely paid for software, and when I did it was almost always a game.

      Having set up japanese input method on both ubuntu and arch not to long ago: It’s a bit janky. Defenetly not just “hit install”.

        Mosc isn’t bad. I even set the keyboard shortcuts to their Windows IME equivalents cause it’s easy to remember.
