I'm not sure how accurate StatCounter is, given that most Linux users use adblockers. However, according to it, Linux has almost a 14% desktop share in India.

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.

I mean you can use it unactivated for ever or just use a script
I haven't found a reliable system that gets around activation (had a friend ask me recently) and I personally can't live with the watermark, but I also have sensitive data on my machines and networks so I don't risk getting a sketchy iso from tpb with activation nuked.
Use MASS and you can install a legit copy of windows and have it activated

Works great, is well documented and trusted. If I remember correctly it has multiple ways of activating stuff and you can select the one you want with explanation and pros/cons of each method.
EDIT: Documentation is here: https://massgrave.dev/ And it can even activate Office or change Windows edition.
Looking into that, thanks =)
