From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Worth noting that Norway has a very small population, in fact, short term residencies leaving such as students, refugees (which Norway takes an insane amount of), and seasonal (especially oil) workers could at least explain the trend/fluctuation. Overall high usage is cool though! Norway also had a fuckton of government money going into tech startups so maybe that's impacting it too.
