For anyone wondering why the first-past-the-post voting system (used by most countries) is bad, what the alternatives are, and why those alternatives are better, Nicky Case has an excellent write-up that covers all of that: https://ncase.me/ballot/

That was a very informative and interesting read. Thank you for sharing!

(used by most countries)

That might be true for head of state, but not so clear for legislature houses. From a look at the maps on this wiki page I'd say a majority of countries have some kind of at least limited PR.
