Linux Hardware Database

Russian is the second most popular language and the majority of top cities are in Russia. I wonder whether it reflects the real situation or the site is somewhat biased towards Russia for some reason.

The same situation for any other snap app in the store, e.g. https://snapcraft.io/vlc (see map at the bottom of the page).

As far as I know, Linux is massively used at the state level in Russia, for example, in schools and universities.

Well either Linux is incredibly popular in Russia or ROSA desktop a Russian distro is almost certainly over represented at 8.6% share. It might do to check if anyone installs hw-probe by default or promotes it to its user base.

Sounds like ROSA probably includes it by default; maybe with a "send your hardware stats in" button.

I think I've seen something like that with Ubuntu but I assume it would go to Canonical only.
