Desktop Operating System Market Share Holy See (vatican City State)

Last year in May GNU/Linux was measured at 2.6% in the Vatican - its highest level in a very long time. This month it is a lot higher, coinciding with: The Pope used his first encyclical to warn about tech centralization | Vatican Speaks Out Against Slop, Promoting Instead "Truth, Dignity of Work, Social Justice, and Peace."

From last year: Phone Adoption Very Low in Vatican, Windows Usage Fell Nonetheless | The "Telephone Operating System in the Vatican" is 95 Years Old, Vatican Moved to GNU/Linux

Will the Holy See move away from GAFAM?
