    Home had 4 windows machines a year ago. Now 1 windows machine, a raspberry pi, and 4 linux machines… reckon theres still a real move under the data. Ai may be part but its not all or most.

    The bot argument is valid but the OS X thing could just be because most browsers on macOS report “Mac OS X” in the User-Agent string for compatibility (and 10.15 as the version regardless of the actual OS version, for privacy reasons).

    I’d be willing to bet enough Linux users use anti-fingerprinting tools to make the statistics super inaccurate anyway.

    Only windows device in the house is my work computer, which is mandated to have it for specific company demands.

    Everything in the house otherwise is some nature of Unix.

    While this sounds like cope, I’m leaning towards believing it. Firefox also just saw a 50% increase in users… Or the data got messed up in some way that nobody else (including Mozilla themselves) is able to detect and report.

    Organic Linux usage jumping a full 100% seems even less likely.
