What gave Linux a boost.

My guess is summer. Perhaps people waited until they have more time to switch from Windows to Linux. And holiday means less work computers – which are all Windows machines – being used.

Cloudflare Radar also shows a sudden jump from 3.5% to 5.5% from June 15 to June 29. It has since come down to 3.9%, which is still about 0.6 percent points higher than previous average.

    This was the case for me last summer. Waited until the start of break so if anything went wrong it wouldn't be too much of a nightmare. Wouldn't be too shocked if others took similar opportunity. Depends a bit how many people have any sort of proper summer holiday these days though.
