    Y’all, not it’s not. Bots, maybe, but also what’s the source of this data?

    This chart lists Mac OS and OSX as 2 different lines. You trust this data because it confirms your biases?

      Mac OS and OSX seem to be reported separately apparently because many browsers don’t distinguish them?

      Just something I read on Reddit, not sure if true.

      Many Linux users boast about using multiple computers for redundant tasks, as well as virtual machines. -It doesn’t even have to be bots. They’ve published on various sites like Reddit how to manipulate the steam survey pop-up. Don’t trust any stats on Linux. -Even if it was part of the US census, they couldn’t get an accurate number.
