China and Russia also have a lot of Ubuntu users although we have users literally all over the world and in every country,” said Will Cooke, Division Director Ubuntu

The data collected by Canonical so far over the last two months from those who installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) on their computers revealed that the average installation on the Ubuntu Desktop takes about 18 minutes.
