I don’t know exactly what’s going on. But I do know that 3.5% to 10.5% in a few months is so beyond anything ever observed before, the notion that this is users adopting Linux over Windows/Mac cleanly and organically severely strains my credulity.
If you dive further into the stats, this increase is almost exclusively from the US. Mexico went from around 2 percent in May to 6 percent in June and July, and Canada actually went down from 5.6 percent in June to 3.8 percent in July, which, while it was larger than May’s 3.1 percent, seems like it’s within error.

I did get kind of carried away creating so many LXCs and VMs in Proxmox between then and now…
