The start of something big, or is something else affecting the numbers?

    Could it just be that AI web crawlers are anonymously generating a ton of Linux user-agents and throwing off the numbers?

    For NA desktop usage, StatCounter lists Linux as:

    • 3.56% in May
    • 6.14% in June
    • 10.61% in July

    Lemmy: “Sure, why not.”

      Yeah, something is fucky with these numbers. Is there a corresponding drop in Windows/Mac numbers? Or is this due to a large number of new machines appearing out of nowhere?
