According to StatCounter, in September 2014, Linux usage in Malta was 1 percent. By October, usage was over 4 percent. There was a peak after Christmas and current numbers are around 5 percent.

Blogger and Linux advocate Robert Pogson has charted the numbers. He says:

Malta is one of those places where the small size allows one to see significant migrations to GNU/Linux desktop in their full glory. Notice the ascendance of GNU/Linux in the same week that school started that year. The peak usage was on Thursday, 2015-Jan-8 at 6.83% a day or two after the Christmas break ended. Even use on weekends showed dramatic growth.

    100% of Maltese users using Linux would still be pretty much 0% globally.

    100% of Texas students would still be pretty much 0% globally.
    However, when looking what the Texas School Board does with the "controversy" to the entire US education and how many education ministers exist in this world and stoopid enough to follow US as a model... (shudders).
