And about half of the HTTP traffic is from AI agents/bots/crawlers: https://radar.cloudflare.com/traffic#bot-vs-human

My guess is that linux usage will keep increasing slowly with time, but it's still not the year of the linux desktop. ;D

Bots account to over 60% according to this link.

Remember that at some point in the past, spam and porn accounted for nearly 80% of all internet traffic.

Not sure now how the two correlate.
