Why isn’t Linux more popular in China?

This is a question from Quora, and I'd think ‘why isn’t Linux more popular in China’ is an interesting question, here’re my comments:

1. among the more than 400 million Chinese internet users, I would say probably 80% of them has never got a chance to touch Linux, many of them even never heard of Linux. let me introduce the internet users and how to choose OS;

A small part of chines users do not have a computer, they go to the bars for surfing, where only windows are provided

most people in tier 2 ore cities who owns a computer does not know how to install a system other than using a windows ghost copy or ask someone for help; this even includes many students who have received high school educations

only a small part of guys, usually IT guys and those who receive relatively better high school education have heard Linux, and then part of them tried to use Linux, and then part of them found Linux is not convenient to use, so, finally, only a very small part of Chinese internet users are using Linux


Why Linux isn't advantageous to use in China?

Qq isn't accessible for quite a while in Linux since the vast majority need to utilize Qq in China (note, it has in excess of 100 million simultaneous online clients in China) 

the vast majority utilize a PC for amusements, while heaps of diversions are not accessible in Linux 

individuals need to purchase things online on Taobao and different business destinations, while most still don't have great help for Linux while doing installment (particularly when you need to manage the product by the banks) 

ordinarily, you have to introduce extra dialect bolster for Chinese, the text styles don't look decent, the info technique should be arranged 

at last, when managing distinctive issues, Linux, when utilized as a work area OS, isn't anything but difficult to make sense of it and requires investment in the event that you don't live in Linux for long; I think this is likewise valid for individuals in different nations.
