Another interesting observation is that linux marketshare in India has been falling in the last months since the peak above 17% in last September no 8,79% in January. Does anyone know something about what happened in there?

Seems like the kind of numbers you would expect. Windows is the default OS for every corporate and normie desktop everywhere, followed by the graphic designers and musicians rolling MacOS, and then the rest. The ratio never really changes, and never will unless something devastating happens to MS Office. If they included every headless server and AWS EC2 instance it would be the reverse with Windows barely featuring. With the proliferation of Android devices, Linux has become a quiet revolution with mobile but the majority of users probably don’t even know they run it.
MS office is on its death bed. It is mostly around for legacy reasons. These days people are just fine using things like Google Docs or Libreoffice.
If a company does business with government, Windows/Office is the only way to go. So absolutely legacy reasons. There are a lot of viable choices today. It’s amazing to think that Office is something like 20% of revenue last time I checked.
I’m pretty sure Gen Z have no idea how to use it
The more the young generation comes in the less legacy things will be needed
