unfortunately this is mostly an instance of https://xkcd.com/1102/
Now that Linux is mainstream where do we move to feel elitist? DragonFly BSD? Redox OS?
ChromeOS always disturbs me. Is there a 2.4% out there casually watching porn on side with their chromebooks during highschool geometry?
And why they switching to linux?
Surely there are people who bought Chromebooks for college? Or boomers who bought the $245 Chromebook instead of the $285 Win10S manufactured ewaste laptop?
Also probably some folks who bought a Chromebook in bulk from a school for pennies on the dollar.
Inadvertently contributed to this statistic lol
Linux usafe has surely grown, but I think a laege percentage of that are AI crawlers and shit like that.
The Philippines has been a lot in the news lately, did not expect them to be an inspiration for the Linux world as well.
I want SteamOS to turn into a general purpose OS so I can shitcan Windows for good!
There are already quite a few immutable distros you could use today like Bazzite or Fedora Atomic. The main advantage of SteamOS is that it’s tailor made for specific hardware, an advantage it would automatically lose as a general purpose OS.
Name me a feature SteamOS has that Bazzite doesn’t.
I’m gonna fire up haiku and boost that other percentage
It’s better to stay away from windows if you’re having a wank.
Brilliant
This must somehow be related to the VPN vendors, right? Or perhaps even remote desktops?
Linux marketshare is now big enough to fit tux inside the chart! We did it!
It’s the year of the Linux desktop
It’s funny to think there are already teenagers born in a year of the Linux desktop
Exactly like the girls fantasized:
Thank you to all the linux gooners bumping these numbers up
Its going to end up 1-2 freak self hoster’s torrenting terrabytes of movies for the jellyfin servers instead of just streaming their porn, and thats why linux gets a marketshare.
/s
Can you not talk about my porn habits in public? Thanks.
Frustrating that you can’t even get to the pornhub press pages and look at the year in review without hopping on VPN if you’re in a restricted area. I feel like Cherie Deville with her PSA on the block page might technically be the most viewed model on there now.
I feel your pain.

AI agents and web scrapers surely
I would expect AI scrapers to fake a windows user-agent tbh.
Why? Isn’t it likely that it’ll just report e.g. “python-requests” for the user agent, and it’s up to the server side to decide what that means?
That user agent would make them easily identifiable and therefore blockable. It’s more likely that they are trying to hide as a legitimate user.
That will be labeled as “other” in those cases
Chrome OS is down, they probably got reinstalled with regular Linux. The rest represents about 1% of the total market share, which could probably be Steam Decks.
