Link my friend?
There's an old thing "the thing that won the Video Format Wars was porn", because in the 80s, mail order and rental porn was very popular, and the easiest format (VHS) to buy and record onto won largely because of that.
Makes me wonder if we'll see the same for Operating Systems?

Isn't this skewed by people using a dedicated faptop or dual booting to Linux for extra privacy?
AI agents and web scrapers surely
I would expect AI scrapers to fake a windows user-agent tbh.
Why? Isn't it likely that it'll just report e.g. "python-requests" for the user agent, and it's up to the server side to decide what that means?
That will be labeled as "other" in those cases
Just hard to believe 6%. That's a huge number. Hopefully it's true🤞
