High or low, all Linux usage stats are fake.

If that's a joke, I don't get it.

If that's real, I don't know why.

Help?

Those usage stats are a fantasy build by nicely asking your browser about your pc's details. But the answer is complete fiction. And one people often intentionally set to display Windows because idiotic corporate-created webpages will refuse to work properly otherwise.

(I haven't touched Windows in many years and still I would end up in those stats as a Windows user (and Chrome which is also wrong)...)

It's basically all just marketing bullshit.

Also, what does "a computer" mean?

Smartphone? Tablet? Laptop? what about in-airplane displays? what about cashier tablets? what about computers without a display? what about ATMs?
