Canonical is rather evil these days. They aren’t anywhere near Murdersoft levels of evil, but there are still more ethical options.

I love to cheer for linux (Fedora user here 😎) but the math and logic in the blog post is off. Firstly, the linux desktop-share for US government websites is much higher, because to calculate it, you have to exclude iOS and Android. But then again, the data may be skewed and linux-users may just be much more prominent visitors of US government websites. I think this sounds credible as many linux users are technically apt and active citizens.

Nevertheless, if the trend is true it is encouraging! Cannot verify because analytics.usa.gov only provides data a calendar year into the past by default and I can't be bothered to get an api key to see if more can be fetched.

The real desktop linux share for the last 30 days can be calculated:

windows = 33.2

macos = 11.6

linux = 6.9

linux / (windows + macos + linux) = 0.13346228

If the average tech nerd uses linux and uses two computers every day and the average non tech nerd has only one device and uses his computer only once a week.

Could this distort such a usage report?

I am on linux mint on both my laptop and my desktop. I only need my phone to be degoogled and I will be all set.
