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

PCWorldNo, Linux didn't actually hit 10% market share. Blame botsStatcounter says Linux desktop share doubled to 10% in months. Cloudflare's human-only traffic data tells a very different story.Replying to @nocturne@slrpnk.net
I was wrong :(
Edit: Although this looks like other people just guessing, not a confirmation

I originally had read it as Linux usage increased by 10% and suggested it was the machine and steam os. I was wrong too.
