That number does not look right. Our ADI numbers say that 3.5% of our 
overall ADI are on Linux. Given that a number of Linux distros may 
switch off Telemetry and FHR by default, but leave the add-on blocklist 
enabled (where ADI comes from), I'd trust that number some more - even 
with the flaws that the ADI measurement might have.

That said, the fact that Linux distros might switch off Telemetry and 
FHR by default causes issues right in that way: they are undercounted 
and we may disregard them completely in data-driven decisions. If you 
are a Linux distro package manager, think about that.
