See Top 7 Desktop OSs In Dominica From January 19 to 19 October 2015Yes, GNU/Linux is on the move in Dominica. The government made a deal with the government of India recently, to promote GNU/Linux at Dominica State College. “Unknown” took off at that time… GNU/Linux continues to grow slowly.

My Mission
My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. Now that I'm retired I still use GNU/Linux on every computer in my home except the smartphones which run Android/Linux.Lately, I've been giving lots of thought to the world I inherited and which I will leave to my descendants. I'm planting grass, trees, flowers and vegetables in my large lot and I've ordered a Solo EV. I plan to charge my Solo by means of a tracking solar array. Life is good if you have a purpose. I do.

Seems to have dropped off from something like a total of 20% in October to a total of 10% at this point, Robert. That’s what you get when you ignore the variance in a 72,000 population.
Never mind. Obviously the Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian Government hasn’t quite kicked in yet. Although … horrid thought …
… perhaps it has? And the guys in Dominica have come to the conclusion that, on the basis of their shoddy experience since April 2015, each and every Dominican they can reach deserves better than the Linux Desktop can offer?
It was a thrilling little ride whilst it lasted, though. Never quite understood the supposed connection with the Indian Government, but yet — thrill thrill thrill!
DrLoser sorry common surveys performed on OS usage have a habit of being less than 10 000 people.
Next is when you compare population 75000 as a sample set.
Really because you are that lazy you don’t do research DrLoser you make un unrequited bull crap.

CWDOM one of the large ISP in Dominica. Turns out to be a deep packet inspection black hole. So you can bet most of the people appearing as unknown in Dominicia are CWDOM customers having there user agent string obliterated by the ISP deep packet inspection.
Every area with massively increasing unknown values in Statscounter has ISP or ISP’s investing in deep packet inspection.
Indeed, ram. You would clearly be correct to identify this as yet another conspiracy, but in this particular case I have to disappoint you. Keep taking the tablets, however.
No, you’ve caught me here. I’m Astro-turfing one Caribbean island at a time. You’d be surprised to learn how little money it cost to make StatCounter turn a “blind eye” to “other” in this case. I shall not divulge my evil methods … suffice to say that I had no need to look further than the interstices behind my sofa.
I may even Crowd-Source this idea. One Caribbean Island, One Sofa, One Reich!
A population of 72,000. That’s basically twice the size of the capacity of the Football Stadium in Fort Graham, just to put it into local terms that won’t cause your nose to bleed, Robert.
In other words, given that ridiculous variance … not anything that a rational human being would care about.
A more interesting question. Are the Blue Bombers playing at home this coming weekend?
If you add up Android/Linux, Unknown (probably Linux), and Other (probably related to Linux) you get more than half the total traffic. It looks like StatCounter deliberately chooses to under count Linux distributions.
