Cloudflare is also showing the same trend: Linux usage on Desktops is rising. You can also filter the Cloudflare data to "likely human" and it still shows the same trend

I would think most of it, since when you filter for other regions (Europe, Asia, etc), you don't get such a strong trend. So if it is mostly driven by the US, I would exclude single users to be the cause. I don't think there is any reason the user market would be this different there from other parts of the world.
