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.
I’m doing my part 🫡
I wonder if the numbers would be higher if there wasn’t so much crossover between Linux users and unwillingness to pay for stuff that can be gotten for free
Now that Linux is mainstream where do we move to feel elitist? DragonFly BSD? Redox OS?
TempleOS
SerenityOS is “a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core”.
It’s good enough to be proud of, while alienating normal people, not incidentally, like linux used to, but on purpose, like this sentence does, making it a great for elitists.Perfect. Installing now.
Next year will be SerenityOS desktop year!
I thought it was not recommended to run on bare metal? There are some other obscure OSes that can run fine on bare metal (although Serenity is not really obscure in the foss space, only in the mainstream)
Hmm I cannot find some community discussions about this on distrowatch but this looks surely awesome! I always wanted to go back to my childhoods computing interface – oh god I need that
But what type of kernel is this the new talk about “custom unix-like core”? So this is not linux, it is also not unix? Seems like it would bring me back the same fun of exploring some unknown os, like when I was 7 years old.
The real elites shall forever be the Plan9 group. There’s dozens of users! Dozens!
I preordered a Jolla. Chasing that “0.6 % Other” high.
We just start the distro wars.
I’m on Debian. Is that niche enough?
Nope too mainstream. Try Kali Linux at least.
Did they not rebrand to ParrotOS or smth?
Again? It used to be called something else even further back.
It must be part of the “security through making it hard to search for online” strategy.
The Distro Wars have already been raging for decades now.
Create ExLisperOS and you’re good to go.
Lots of wankers using Linux, eh?
People probably don’t want to watch it with their Microsoft employee.
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
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.
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.
Would love to see what kind of porn Linux users watch compared to others.
Polyamorous in public. It’s open and anyone can contribute.
Brilliant
Anime? Manga? Tentacle?
Whatever type it’s probably esoteric and somehow involves the command line.
Whatever kink, but with consent not sudo.
sudo is asking for permission. It’s su that is straight up pillaging.
PornHub is a treasure trove for… data science
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.
That’s the winning hypothesis, dumpster diving gooners.
Those are cheap and rugged. I bought a reconditioned Chromebook Think Pad for $30. I want to put Linux on it. But I haven’t found my 'roundtoit yet.
I snagged a Chromebook back in 2016 and used it for 9 years. It wasn’t speedy, but for small time browsing, terminal use (I rooted it and put a real Linux distro in there), and media watching it was just fine.
chromebooks during highschool geometry
Nah, most of the school equipment/networks are monitored/blocked to hell and back. I’m not saying they can’t find loopholes, but they’re severely hampered, and when they get caught, it’s a big deal.
A lot of that chromeOS is people buying the cheapest hardware at Walmart and using it as their faptop.
Just like a lot of the Linux is probably steamdecks.
I love when they give us this hard data. You can take this proof and shove it down hater’s throats and perhaps even in other parts of their body.
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.
It’s got a reckognizable name and first party support from an actual company.
I’m doing my part!
Heh, my “part”
angry upvote 😡
MacOS getting a little side action, too.
Year of the Linux gooning
