Another interesting observation is that linux marketshare in India has been falling in the last months since the peak above 17% in last September no 8,79% in January. Does anyone know something about what happened in there?

    that’s disappointing, but i don’t know how reliable that data is. how many websites are they collecting data from, what’s the “unknown” os, and some browsers (librewolf for example) report as being windows to blend in.

      Indeed, the data isn’t transparent and probably not very reliable, but it’s all we have, so I believe it’s still worth mentioning. Also, the trends tend to be more reliable than the absolute values, if their methodology is consistent, so any change in usage may be somewhat relevant.

      They run a script in the user browsers for collecting the data, so I believe any privacy-enhanced browser, like librewolf blocks it, but so do windows users using ublock or similar, and they all fall into the unknown category.
