sadly completely fake https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=how%20to%20install%20linux
Looks like it was originally a search for "Crowdstrike":
They got publicity all right
I wonder if this was a stunt by the marketing team
That would definitely be next level marketing. I wouldn't be surprised if this actually helped them long term.
Wow there are a lot of such queries.
I only get an error on that website.
Fake.
The graph they used is actually the one for "CrowdStrike"
I just thought it was a joke. I never thought the graph was real.
What happened on July 7th?
The crowdstrike f*-up is so bad it travels back in time. That's my best guess
It isn't July 7th
Look at the graph closer
It isn't really marked much, so I'm going to assume it was the crowdstrike issue, lol.
Have been wanting to freshen up my laptop and did it yesterday wiping W11 out and installing Kubuntu 24.
Have been using Linux for years but I know MSF will track how this mess compelled people to switch, so I did my tiny but meaningful part.
i just installed it like before i went to sleep
