Statcounter says Linux desktop share doubled to 10% in months. Cloudflare's human-only traffic data tells a very different story.

    And what exactly is is the real number according to Cloudflare? They’re hinting at it all the time but never telling the actual number?! Is it 9%, 2%? What kind of article is this? Isn’t the one job of journalism to tell us what reality is? But they deliberately(?) omit this one thing?

      Seems to be a regurgitation of this “article” from windowslatest: https://lemmy.today/post/57713024

      In their post they have the cloudflare charts, but even when filtered to only likely-human traffic, it shows the opposite of their conclusion, a close to 10% linux share.
