Dominant US-made desktop operating system Windows is falling in use. Libre and kind-of-global Linux is mostly growing, albeit slowly. (piefed.cdn.blahaj.zone)

Based on the fact that it rises while Linux tails off, I'm guessing that it's something in Linux land breaking StatCounter's collection method. Maybe something like flatpacks and snaps not allowing the underlying OS to be detected properly.

StatCounter determines OS with a tracker installed on many popular websites.
Could be flatpaks, could be ublock.
