Russia is the country with the largest number of operating systems. In the register of domestic software, there are 91 different operating systems that are considered to be Russian-made systems, of which 36 are developed based on the Linux kernel.


The reorientation of the Russian public sector to domestic operating systems has led to the fact that no one needs Windows in the industry. If last year Russian government customers spent 57 million rubles on the purchase of Windows licenses (which is 82% lower than the cost of similar purchases in 2021), then this year - for the first quarter - only 31 thousand rubles were spent for these purposes. These data are provided by RIA Novosti with reference to the Kontur.Torgi project.
