I've never understood why Asian countries seem so reluctant to use Linux. Maybe it's just confirmation bias on my part? You would think China especially would have an interest in not using Windows anywhere, and they have the power and resources to quickly build and replace whatever needs to change.

Just checking the Steam stats only 1.38% has Simplified Chinese set as their language, the same number for Windows is 23.80%. While that just represents Steam users private computers, I guess we will see an increase here in the coming months or years.
