Desktop Operating System Market Share Mexico

The coverage from the soccerfest in Mexico dominates many news sites, but what about technology in Mexico?

What statCounter sees in Mexico is GNU/Linux at its highest level since January 2022 and Android dominating. With all the tourists packing the place (or hotels) we can imagine big changes to be seen next month (many portable devices). Can that be a record month for Free (libre) operating systems in Mexico? █
