According to StatCounter, in September 2014, Linux usage in Malta was 1 percent. By October, usage was over 4 percent. There was a peak after Christmas and current numbers are around 5 percent.

Blogger and Linux advocate Robert Pogson has charted the numbers. He says:

Malta is one of those places where the small size allows one to see significant migrations to GNU/Linux desktop in their full glory. Notice the ascendance of GNU/Linux in the same week that school started that year. The peak usage was on Thursday, 2015-Jan-8 at 6.83% a day or two after the Christmas break ended. Even use on weekends showed dramatic growth.

    in a sample that has 15 billion page views per month, how many unique visitors do you think are coming from Malta? Take into consideration that preferential attachment means that highly populous countries are more likely to be overrepresented in the sample since there are more websites catering to the larger populations.

    Also, what are the odds that webcrawlers are excluded from the sample?

    Dumbass.
