It's interesting that China's adoption of Linux is effectively 0%, skewing the overall stats, particularly when there is a surge in Chinese adoption of Steam, which can single-handedly push the numbers around.
I'd think that China would have higher Linux adoption, given its government's understandable leeriness toward foreign products in general and American products in particular. Linux isn't domestic, but at least it's auditable, unlike Windows and MacOS.
Many governments get access to source code for critical systems as a condition for their use / part of contract negotiations. It's also quite likely that Microsoft and all its services in China is operated as a Joint Venture.
China did have Red Flag Linux (with Government support) for a while, too.
