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.

    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. Specifically, the source of their "90%" claim: http://www.cec.com.cn/jtxw/2019/1209/8ac085cc6e112a0f016ee947c8ac00b5.html

        I have found a article (in Chinese, by Chinese media, to eliminate "western bias") documenting the current state of transition:

        https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_23639950

        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/ , which seems like a strong competitor of linux.
