From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Probably a widespread rumor that the US was somehow interefring their fight against Russia through Windows, once those rumors were proven wrong, the new Linix userbase vanished.
This is the first time I heard of it. I think the actual reason for the statistics are DDoS bots constantly used to disrupt Russian services
That's probably it, i was just randomly theorizing. 🤷♂️
