I know 100℅ of the world top 500 supercomputers use linux, and around 65℅ of world servers. I want more info like this to help me campaign towards GNU/Linux use. Thanks.

I believe Germany is working on that. Recently they have started to migrate 30K systems or so from windows to Linux.
Actually that’s one region in Germany. The rest is not. Action, a few in Germany tried moving to Linux in the past and gave up, unfortunately.
More will follow with their EU data privacy laws violated by use of office365
Please explain further what you mean.
This type of thing. EU is strict on where data goes, who accesses it etc. Germany is realizing that a private US software company is not working in their best interest…obvioualy. https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/11/24097074/the-european-commission-breached-eu-privacy-rules-when-using-microsoft-365
Yes, Germany likes to spend money going back and forth between FOSS and Microsoft.
Germany be like: let’s move to Linux in the hardest and most likely way to fail. You know, gotta find creative ways to fill your consulting “friends” pockets. :)
As much as im a foss person I could see if failing on “merits” in the sense it started in 2003. SuSE might have been worked out but they took 10 years and if at that point they were still using something decided in 2003 it was bound to be messed up. Seriously we are talking when open office was nascent and star office was a thing.
Afaik the stated reasons for moving back were pure BS, or at least blown out of proportion. It mainly came down to the people in charge being very “friendly” with M$. Munich got a new major, he publically called software-freedom “idiological nonsense”, asked a consulting firm that partners with and sells M$ products to analyze the situation, and everyone was shocked when they recommended M$.
I know! Profits.
Brazil is trialing Linux right now too.
LiMux, Munich already had perfectly fine systems running Linux but M$ corruption made them switch back
