    You know, I do wonder how many of these statistics are influenced by Linux users tendancy to use adblockers and block tracking. Linux could be more popular than it looks.

    Also, they should tell us how much of that increase is due to the Steam Deck. :P

    Haha Pornhub - proof that most visitors use Windows, and they’re a bunch of wankers.

    Blows my mind that 50% of mobile visitors are Apple, when 80% of the world uses Android (Though I guess Ph is probably more popular in anglo/european countries which uses more iPhones anyway)

    I hate when people say “oh we had 100% growth!” Ignoring the fact they went from 4 to 8 clients. Meanwhile the one that only shows 0.5% growth considers 8 people a rounding error.

    There’s liars, damn liars and statisticians.

      I hate when people respond to a post with a little anecdote that is completely irrelevant to the original post.

        I’ll feed the troll… it’s very relevant with the bottom part of the graphic. It’s touting that it’s got the biggest increase of traffic change at ~32%, however overall it still only has a 3.2% share. That ties in exactly what what I’m stating and the xkcd that was posted too. There was nothing anecdotal or that was irrelevant in my post.

      A reasonable concern but also a shame, because data is data and PornHub has a massive userbase. I trust Backblaze stats for hard drives because they just have a shit-ton of real-world metrics. I’m inclined to trust PornHub stats for the same reason.

    6.5% of all desktop users is insane

    What’s other? Freebsd?

    What about the streaming share? Like, who is watching the most?

    Do we really want to be bigger anyway? I kind of like where Linux as a desktop isn’t really big enough for all the scammers and malware makers to care.

    (And I know it’s huge for servers and malware also targets that, but they are usually maintained by professionals, not your parents that would probably run every shell script they are offered as help)

    If Linux would become the biggest desktop os you are going to find so much more bad advice whenever searching for help online. I wonder if the nice people we have now are really ready for when the terrible people invade the community.

      YES. It needs more market share to influence companies financially to make products for it.

      It’s truly starting to make inroads recently, but it still has a ways to go.

      I kind of like where Linux as a desktop isn’t really big enough for all the scammers and malware makers to care.

      It’s also not big enough for gaming companies to truly care, unfortunately.
