One of the reasons is that there are several ways to do the same things in Linux, Another reason is members stray off topic from time to time?
You will notice I say members stray off topic, Why? Because we all know that anything a staff members says is on topic. 
EG
OP Question.... Hi how do I install Linux?
Staff Reply.............. Well today I did my laundry and paid my bills on line,....... This is in no way off topic.

Well, in this section, aren't we on topic if we use the word "linux" a lot? 
In all seriousness, the biggest thing is probably just the overall amount of ground covered, this being a "general" section on the site-topics from "Which distro should I use" to "How do I install" to "troubleshooting" to "Look what I did".

Pssssst...the Linux count is for 12 years...don't think Windows 10 has been around that long.

Yeah but Bats - it (THE TOPIC) got moved.
I've moved house from one Linux-friendly house to another Linux-friendly house. I have a new topic in the Linux (& Unix, remember that, also FreeBSD is welcome) Section.
Lol, used Linux a few times.
Hey Brian, like the stats.
Bats again
Hmm...The people in the linux section want to learn?
They already have, they're using Linux.

Well, then it becomes "out of context" instead of "off topic"

@ rp88.....G'day !.....I must confess I did not do what i usually do. I would normally dig and dig until I had a really good deep tranche of data and then dissect it in such a fashion that it was as accurate as possible ....
However...on this occasion I simply went to the community index and took the prevailing figures for each os on that particular day (14th june 2016)
So are the figures a "bit rough"..?....hell yes !!
Did the establishment of the post spur some thought that otherwise may not have taken place....I hope so !....because that was the purpose/aim of the post.
It is my contention that over the past few months there has been a definite increase in the interest shown in Linux. Interest is one thing...people actually installing and "owning" an install is perhaps quite something else.
If I, in my own way, encourage someone to take the extra step....extend that little bit of extra effort...to actually have a good experience with one of the many distributions of Linux....then my efforts will have not been in vain.
Having a good experience to me means that the bs surrounding all things linux is swept out of the way for sufficient time for the person to actually 'self realise' that what he/she is experimenting with is actually doable/practical/can work in their circumsrtances.
I ramble....I am actually going off topic in my own topic !!

That's a good thing, and not a surprise when the immediate competition is looked at (W10). Linux usage has jumped to over 2% usage for the second time in history.

In case it's hard to find.
Notably, Windows usage has fell below the magical number of 90%, a position they've held for years. Now that they have, it's time to see if this is a fluke or trend!

Performing full disc images weekly and keeping important data off of the 'C' drive as generated can be the best defence against Malware/Ransomware attacks, as well as a wide range of other issues.

What I found interesting are the different types of questions in the android forum vs the iOS forum. Not to be rude, but certain hardware draws in Luddites like moth to a flame IMO.
