Sure! As is currently written, it gives the first impression (to me, at least) that the traffic share of Linux has jumped from x% to (x+22)%. Now I understand that this is subjective, but I believe that's how many people would read it at first glance as well.

Again, there's nothing technically inaccurate about it, but the 22% number there is imo distracting and tends to lead to misunderstandings. I would personally write it as "Pornhub sees Linux traffic share increase from 5% to 6% (22.4% increase) over 2025"
