What is “unknown”? And why is it higher then linux?
If you’re not using “unknown” os, what are you even doing with your life.
My guess is its a catch-all for any OS they couldn’t identify… So some of that could be Windows or Linux with agents or scripts disable. I also didn’t see Android broken out as a separate category while iOS is, so that could be in there too.
I really don’t know. Neither the stats collector. That’s the point.
Misconfigured systems/browsers or misconfigured web crawlers.
This is taken from trackers, so blocking trackers renders your os as Unknown.
Based on the fact that it rises while Linux tails off, I’m guessing that it’s something in Linux land breaking StatCounter’s collection method. Maybe something like flatpacks and snaps not allowing the underlying OS to be detected properly.
StatCounter determines OS with a tracker installed on many popular websites.
Could be flatpaks, could be ublock.
