In an open letter to the Ubuntu community, Dustin cokeland, one of the top leaders of the Ubuntu project, revealed that there are more than 1 billion Ubuntu users worldwide. Previously, Phoronix pointed out that Ubuntu users could not reach a 0.2 billion goal by the end of this year. However, according to the data collected by Dustin cokeland, in fact, a large part of the world is using Ubuntu, they use Ubuntu voluntarily or not.

Mark leworth previously estimated that there will be 2015 Ubuntu users by the end of 0.2 billion. He talked about Ubuntu operating systems installed on personal PCs or laptops, but the landscape has changed dramatically since then. In addition to Ubuntu pre-installed on millions of laptops from Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Asus, servers from IBM, Dell, HP, Cisco, Lenovo, and Guangda are also pre-installed with Ubuntu, and compatible with OpenCompute projects.

The problem is that no one can count all Ubuntu users. Unlike Apple, Microsoft, or Google, Ubuntu does not require each user to register their own installed Ubuntu. Dastine corland collects all the public records he can find, including servers, Ubuntu deployed on the cloud, Ubuntu mobile phones, and Ubuntu used by various other companies. The result is, over one billion people use Ubuntu in this or that form, and most of them do not know this fact.
