What's with the big spike in "unknown" at the same time as Windows market share going down a bunch?

I heard rumors that the Indian government switched to some specific Unix like that has accounted for a lot of that, but I have zero experience on the matter aside from someone saying that could be it.

That shouldn't be uknown as its ubuntu based. The previous ones Ive used was debian based. It was pretty much stock with some wallpaper and basic customization. Also in most cases never updated.

Unlikely. Different Indian govt departments use different distributions, but they are usually forks of Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat.

I remember once reading here that there was a bug that made Windows show up as "unknown"

I don't know, buf I remember seeing all of that change had originated from India. So something happened there, I think

Isn't India developing their own Linux-based OS for all of their government's computers to use?
