What explains this sudden growth and the sudden decline of Linux in Ukraine?
Seeing how windows got an equal dip in the same time, I think some version of Windows got erroneously counted as linux. This was fixed in later patches.
afaik stat counter just tracks hits, it doesn't do any work to check for unique users or anything. So a pile of linux boxes made a higher percentage of hits at whatever site this was counting. Something like a DDOS botnet may potentially cause this.
