Don't panic, thats just me running it on PC, laptop, worklaptop, pinenote, pinephone, steamdeck and in multiple VMs for experimentation. (and don't forget my randomized fingerprinting setup in the browser)

Was gonna ask if this stat included the Steam Deck, as that's also accounting for the vast majority of Linux gaming numbers. Whether it does include the Deck or not, it's a nice rise, but all the better if it doesn't include the Deck. I wonder if the popularity of using Linux on the Raspberry Pi is helping too.

How many people are reading blogs on their steam decks though? I don't think it's having much of an effect for statcounter

You never know, given the Deck has desktop mode. That said, still is a good thing with or without the Deck bolstering the numbers.

How is the PineNote coming along?

I love the idea of the Pinenote, but could never afford one.

Not great tbh. But I made it work for my usecase somewhat.

As a huge tinkerer I like it over the Remarkable2 which I had before and which was a huge pain to customize.

But I wouldn't recommend it to normal people.

tell me more about your browser setup.

how do you randomize the fingerprint?

Me, who could do everything I have set up with one RPi: FIVE? Guess imma get a third Pi
