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 tried to find out how DAP identifies users and I think it's based on device fingerprinting rather than IP address. So, I think, if you were to use two separate linux devices to access a .gov site using DAP it would register as two separate users. I don't believe frequency of use matters.

Or 1 tech need has containerised 100,000 instances of Linux and is turning them on and off.
