GNU/Linux "Market Share" in Switzerland More Than Doubled Last Year, Based on statCounter
The 2026 data from statCounter, no longer considered just preliminary, suggests that GNU/Linux continues its considerable growth in the rich European (but non-EU) country, Switzerland.
For those who want to know more about this country, there are two new articles [1, 2] from Daniel Pocock, who is a Swiss citizen.
One of those mentions Debian: "When people like Mr Pocock try to offer professional advice, for example, after the Debian suicide cluster, they are subject to public humiliation and threats of violence (recorded). The lawyers, politicians and small business owners are a group of kissing-cousins. Protecting the reputations and business interests of their families and friends is inextricably intertwined with covering up all the people who failed to prevent this disaster."
"Look at the mayor of Basel, Diana von Bidder-Senn. They tell us that she has a PhD in cybersecurity from ETH Zurich but she didn't realize that her own husband was under the influence of social engineering. Can there be any more extreme example of social engineering than a victim who dies by suicide? IBM's annual Cost of a Data Breach report regularly concludes that social engineering is the number one risk for their clients."
"In Switzerland," he told me recently, "there is intense secrecy around suicides." "I'm not insisting it is a suicide," he clarified about von Bidder, "I only claim they discussed it like a suicide." █
