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.

    Did stat-counter simply find a new way of gathering stats such that ad/script/webbug-blocking linux users now get sniffed out whereas previously they were under the radar?
