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?
I'm assuming they mean tracking Linux users is difficult since most distributions don't have any kind of telemetry or tracking and there's no company keeping track of their user count like Microsoft or Apple. However, it's not like it's impossible.
The closest thing to telemetry on Linux is Chrome OS.
