statCounter: GNU/Linux Now at 4.3%
A couple of days ago GNU/Linux had reached 4.1% in statCounter, yesterday it reached 4.17%, and today it's at an all-time high of 4.27%. Back in spring we temporarily saw it at over 4.2% (got a screenshot of that!), but not as high as 4.27%, which can be rounded up(wards) to 4.3%. So this is definitely a new record, but statCounter isn't a gold(en) measure, the ground truth or a perfect yardstick, it's just an approximation, which may or may not tell us many people move from Vista 11 to GNU/Linux.
We're increasingly optimistic and truly gratified to see the world moving in a better direction, no matter how slowly. Every progress is... well, progress.
It seems like there's a targeted campaign inflaming any major project not controlled by - or critical of - GAFAM, IBM etc. We've suffered the wrath of that for years and it seems others do too (the tactics are eerily familiar if not similar).
The mass layoffs at Microsoft, which nowadays come weeks apart, not just months apart, tell us what sort of atmosphere they have in the boardroom. Many Microsoft executives "retire" early or quit this year. It has gotten so bad that they use US Independence Day to brush layoffs under the carpet. █
