    Linux passing 5% is a major milestone, good to see Linux thrive. 👍 😎

    Part of the jump at least appears to be explained by Valve correcting again the Steam China numbers

    I wonder why there needs to be special correction for China, but I’m guessing it’s about some sort of bots probably farm bots.
    If anyone knows more please share your knowledge.

      I think, like the rest of the world, we try to go away from US software. Windows is the big one, and China would like to go open source.

      They do that because it’s the strongest weapon against capitalism in the US. That country is nothing if they cant monetize on everything.

        Maybe you should read the article, because the increase in Linux users correlates with a reduction in Chinese users.
