Linux usage is very non-uniform. I think the important clusters are:

  • Scientific communities, especially physicists (CERN even has their own distro!).
  • Financial sector
  • Programmers in general
  • Family members of other Linux users
  • Poorer countries that can't afford Windows licenses or newer hardware. (Linux usage in India or Turkey is waay higher than the West)
  • Countries that have bad relations with America

    -People fed up with windows' shit

    -Privacy advocates

    • [Coming Soon] People who can't upgrade to 11 due to hardware who can't afford a new PC.

    People who can’t upgrade to 11

    They'll stay in Windows 10 and ignore security risks.

    Some, and some will learn a better way. And the more the poor security starts to affect people, the more will either bite the bullet and upgrade, or switch. And switching becomes more likely if they know someone else in one of the above categories, too.
