As far as I understand, StatCounter gets data from people browsing the internet.
They are probably partnered with a lot of sites in order to get all the useragent data of their visitors or something, idk. They probably have their method described somewhere.
This is not Steam, where stats are gathered from random monthly surveys.
I wonder if this 3% is actually slightly higher due to the more privacy minded Linux users generally avoid trackers and use user agent spoofers to avoid fingerprinting.
