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.

This is true of the consumer market, but the OP asked about governments, and 90% of government computers in China run Kylin or NeoKylin, with plans to consolidate the two into a single os. This follows the overall trend of China’s tech sector seeking to replace imports (and copied versions of foreign tech) with fully domestic alternatives.
The link they give leads to a 404 page, which is disappointing. I have a few friend and family member works in the public sector and government of China, as far as I know, none of them have heard about linux.
So probably not 90% yet.
Link worked for me, but here’s a copy : https://web.archive.org/web/20240405081510/https://www.zdnet.com/article/two-of-chinas-largest-tech-firms-are-uniting-to-create-a-new-domestic-os/
Sorry, I was referring to the links given in the article, not the article itself.
I have found a article (in Chinese, to eliminate “western bias”) documenting the current state of transition:

Although this article states that the transition is happening, but it seems like it is no where near mainstream in Chinese government.
There are also a Chinese government version of windows : https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/05/23/announcing-windows-10-china-government-edition-new-surface-pro/
Thanks.
