Some of it's India.

It looks like Linux will be mainstream in India in the next decade. I'm excited since a small fraction of the incredible amount of users will become distro developers.
Sadly there aren't even Indian manufacturers with linux preinstalled. I've heard of starlabs, slimbook, tuxedo, system76 etc. only to find out that most doesn't ship to india and are not availiable in the stores like flipkart, amazon and local stores, where most of people computers. Still, still India is at 15% now and what if market already has linux preinstalled systems!
