Auto-reminder that StatCounter is garbage and these articles are almost always about statistical noise, not actual behavioural change.

Long term global thrends on statcounter are useful. Data from tiny countries like Bulgaria are not. The sample size is probably too small.

I can live with that, although I'll also note that the sample size is biased.

Clearly within the margin of error. Especially because they were obviously not just looking at Bulgaria.

Linux usage is always higher on poorer countries, which makes a lot of sense.
