Data is Beautiful

Thank you !

How do people find you?

On an app called "AlloVoisins" (I'm French btw), which in English would sound close to Nextdoor I suppose (literal translation would be "HelloNeighbor"), but it's not the same kind of app. People can post about their need of a good or service (and only that, it's not social media), then people who can provide will answer (and it only works one-way like this), so it's closer to Craigslist but not exactly (we do have a 1:1 equivalent of Craigslist, it works well for goods but not for services).

One funny thing is a lot of people say they will recommend me to people, yet in the 3 years that I've been doing this, it only happened once that I was actually contacted directly after being recommended by someone esle.

One even funnier thing : only a few weeks apart, I received requests from two people literally living next to each other, neighbors, who talk to each other daily where their respective yards connect, yet they both went through the app.

Is the number of people asking for linux increasing?

Actually nobody asks for Linux, most of the people I install Linux for don't even know what Windows is, despite having been using it for years. I offer to install it, when I know that the person could use it and not loose one bit of their routine while enjoying their computer almost as if it was new just because the system will be lighter (and not harrassing them about updates).
