Survey of operating systems used in Madagascar

We conducted a statistical study of 4611 participants from January 21 to 27, 2020. We sought to know the operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, etc.) most used in Madagascar. We distinguished two segments: “desktop” (desktop or laptop) and “smartphone”. Here are the results by segment. Note that “operating system” is also commonly called “OS” or “Operating system”.
