I like to see linux being adopted to whatever degree by casual users, but I think it's worth remembering that part of why linux is the way it is is because it doesn't need to be obsessed with number go up. Regardless of how much of this is authentic user migration vs bots, it's clear that there is more momentum and care behind linux, and with that higher likelihood of support from tools/games/hardware.
