    I read that Linux usage is much higher in India (I think ~13% vs 5% in the US, though the statistics are probably outdated). I am totally ignorant when it comes to India, so correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m wondering if the rise of Linux users has something to do with the government trying to limit access to Github.

      Indian here.

      Most government organisations in India have shifted to using linux (primarily ubuntu) because they didn’t want to pay hefty license fees to microsoft and to buy new PCs, since almost all of their computers either ran Windows 7 or XP.
