From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That explains the popularity of "unknown OS" but not why it swings so wildly

Uhm what's re they using for this report... I would have assumed they would have gone with just taking the User Agent and similar which I guess that wouldn't matter on the modifications you say.

Yeah sure but you usually fake a real existing one so it would go into one of the categories not the Unknown.
