Okay. This is supposed to be bad news...?
These numbers are always going to fluctuate. There is practically zero chance of this survey showing the Linux user share going up and only up for more than a few months in a row. You have to look at the historical trend. GamingOnLinux has a plot which shows clear as day that the trend is upward, and more specifically that the past 4 months' Linux numbers are significantly higher than all previous months.

What you should take away from this data is that the relatively large jump from 2.27% in April to 2.69% in May, despite what the haters claimed, was not a fluke, because after three more months it still hasn't stopped back down below 2.50%.
To see disaster in this latest round of survey results is wildly short-sighted.

It really isn't.
>How do we get these numbers up? How do we convince people to ditch Windows and support Linux?
Not by making pestering Windows users with embarrassing platform-war bait threads on /v/, please.
