No, Linux didn't actually hit 10% market share. Blame bots (www.pcworld.com)

And what exactly is is the real number according to Cloudflare? They're hinting at it all the time but never telling the actual number?! Is it 9%, 2%? What kind of article is this? Isn't the one job of journalism to tell us what reality is? But they deliberately(?) omit this one thing?

Seems to be a regurgitation of this "article" from windowslatest: https://lemmy.today/post/57713024

In their post they have the cloudflare charts, but even when filtered to only likely-human traffic, it shows the opposite of their conclusion, a close to 10% linux share.

Thx. That article is way better. And they even have actual links to the sources...
