When you only have 4% to begin with, 0.3% is not a blip lol. It’s almost 10% of your install base.
Again - it’s 10% of the total Linux amount. It’s a lot.
The article isn’t saying Linux is dying, neither am I. Who is?
Steam result vary more than 0.3% just by user select variance. Very unstable.
0.3% over multiple month maybe around 10% of linux, but not for one month.
In sampling and statistics, I'm pretty sure there are terms for that. To account for the fact that not 100% of the population are being sampled. Hmmm, I wonder what that term is.
