as expected with the Simplified Chinese language dropping the Linux stats have shot back up.

Am I an idiot? I don't understand what this means. Why would they drop Chinese from their languages? And why would dropping Chinese make people switch to Linux?

They don't drop Chinese from the random sampling. The random sampling is back to normal averages.See here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/#languagesanchor Also, English only Linux use is relatively the same based on the random sampling, see here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/#engsplitanchor
