Just wondering if anyone else feels like this. Personally I’m following this community for interesting stuff around Linux and I don’t care too much for a lost percentage or another. Today’s an extreme example with 5 articles (steam share, 2x “10%”, 2x "not actually 10%). This horserace journalism is rarely doing any good imho.

What do you think?

    It looks like network traffic and steam survey data are very noisy. So it’s every other month we get articles like “Linux hit a new percentage record” “Linux just fell down 2 percentage points, will it ever recover” The multitude of articles trying to click bait as much as possible is getting annoying after a while.
