Also:
"78% of new downloads came from Windows and macOS users, reflecting our mission to bring the power of Linux to people who’ve never had access to it before."
I'm curious: do these numbers surprise you?

...but not impossible 😁 Being able to order a 6-layer PCB with capped vias for $2 is crazy. It even appears to work with Thunderbolt and DisplayPort, which is surprising, as I barely knew what I was doing 😂 #kicad #shotonlibrem5
