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
True, btw I am on Windows 10 Chrome 😉
Found the closet Arch user
Unfortunately, due to the constant willful or untested shenanigans of various website I have set up all my system’s Firefox profiles to spoof by default its user agent (and other JavaScript properties) as Windows 11, x86_64, Firefox LTS (even if I use latest, Aurora or beta). Some blantant recent example: YouTube uses lower quality options on browsers running on Arm-based systems — misreporting as an x86 CPU appears to be a widespread browser fix
Doing so has helped me and many friends/family I switched to a flavor of Linux (mostly Mint, but sometimes LMDE or Ubuntu or specific requirements/demands) avoid numerous dumb problems.
Even on mobile sometimes UX breaking issues creep up.

Linux users are coming
Dozens of us! Dozens!
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.
Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1102/
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.
I myself have gotten 2 friends to get a steam deck that otherwise would have gotten a windows laptop (or a switch =P), and am working on a 3rd
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)
Nah, it was all me. All of it.
Just found another PC in the dump and installed Linux on it. That makes 1,984
Linux is cumming my friends. 🥳
Year of the Steamdeck. Praise Gaben!
Switched a few months ago. No regrets.
There are dozens of us!
The three linux users finally found a friend to masturbate with. Leading to a 33% increase in linux user visit.
How many Steam deck users are looking up porn?
2024 will be the year of the GNU/Linux desktop!
As will be every year after that
