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

    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.
