152 * Tails has been started more than 936 560 times this month. This makes 31 219 boots a day on average.
154 That's 8.7% more than in March and the biggest increase in usage since 2015.
155 It's most likely due to the COVID-19 quarantine and people staying at home
156 but it might also be a good sign from the support of Secure Boot and an
157 easier adoption by new users.
