We reached 5.1% market share!
We need to grow that 0.5%!
The steam deck does seem like a good device for “bedtime” browsing.
More seriously, this data is probably less biased toward tech literate users than most similar surveys that get published here. This is really encouraging
Lets get past 7% next year ;)
let’s aim for 6.9%
Nice
You missed again! Now I gotta clean all thus percentage off my eyeball!
Let’s aim for 69%
Finally, 2025 will be the year of the Linux desktop
I’m doing my part!
It’s a little heavy to hold 1 handed for that long.
That’s what you get the kickstand attachment for
The year of the Linux desktop!
Dammit, you beat me to it
Dammit, you beat meat to it!
Valve is about to make this happen.
and I thought iPhones were for wankers ☞( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞
Guilty as charged.
The most compelling evidence I’ve ever seen for the elusive “year of the Linux Desktop”.
Windows’ growth is double the absolute percentage of Linux’s total even with its growth.
It’s essentially the year of “Not Apple.”
Indeed.
Also great evidence that Windows is not dying, no matter what the Linux fanboys claim.
The thing is Linux doesn’t need to topple Windows. Linux just needs a big enough market share for companies to go “maybe we should also offer official support for Linux?”
Oh god, don’t say that. You’re going to summon them. I’m getting out of here…
Yeah, that part is sad.
Although… at risk of being in the picture, we don’t know the mobile vs. desktop change. It could be that Windows is just dying more slowly than Mac OS (and ChromeOS, probably because schools block porn).
Thanks!
Interesting, so phone browsing actually went down. I now have no idea why Windows is doing so well. Doesn’t everyone hate the new release?
Always pornhub
Remember kids, when you watch porn on Windows, Bill watches with you.
I’m counting on it.
I hope he likes my taste
A better, more factual, reminder is that if you’re not using a VPN, your ISP is recording all of that, and potentially selling that information.
This is not fear mongering, like the comment I’m replying to. It’s very real.
They can see what website you go to, and how much data you exchange with it, but not what specific page on that site you’re looking at or what specific data you send (for example my ISP can’t tell that I’m making this specific comment).
Provided the site is using SSL of course.
True, though all they can see is the domains/IPs and the rough traffic flow, nothing specific. And I’m not fearmongering, I’m making a joke. :P
0.4% Other: BSD-BDSM
BMSD is now KinkOS.
The Kink Desktop Environment is my favorite.
Hypothesis: Pornhub is effected by a lot of the bans in places like Texas. I don’t see ChromeOS or Apple users as the kind of folks who know how to find their ways around those bans, but Windows and Linux users are more likely to via VPNs and such.
Affected*. I don’t think special effects are involved.
1 : to cause to come into being
2 a : to bring about often by surmounting obstacles : accomplish effect a settlement of a dispute
b : to put into operation
Effect is a perfectly fine verb. It’s wrong in this case, but it doesn’t imply the use of special effects.
I understand that but I wasn’t about to go full English teacher on people. Maybe it’s condescending, but when speaking in public or online, I prefer to explain things in a simplified way that the general public can understand. My girlfriend likes to accuse me of mansplaining; I won’t argue that it is an incorrect assessment.
“Affect” is a word we can deprecate because all it’s for is umm actuallying. It goes in the same box as “inflammable” and “cleanse”.
I’ve gotten really good with the weird grammar rules and exceptions, all of the “there, their, they’re” situations, etc. in English, but effect/affect is one that I always second guess myself on for some reason.
You say that but I added after effects to the money shot. (It’s confetti).
Possibly a factor, but I don’t think a quarter of Apple users are affected by those bans.
I see what you mean but it doesn’t take much to download a VPN app and hit the big green button
I had the same thought! Lol, on reddit I’d lay ideas like this out and get an ocean of “Reeeeee!” in response to it from Apple fans. But I think it’s very true.
Posted above but I will put it here for visibility also.
Texas is the largest state to be affected by the pornhub ban, and Texas makes up 9% of the US population. Including all 12 of the states with pornhub restrictions, the total is actually 24% of the US population. Those are big enough numbers to swing stats.
Now you have to consider which users are more likely to know how to use a VPN on their system and realize that a lot of traffic is being re-routed through other states and countries.
Proves linux users are sexual deviants
Pornhub is pretty vanilla
not even that, a lot of stuff on there is effectively just reality TV and just makes me die inside when i see the thumbnails
Same with most only fans content I find on twitter. Holy mother of fake enthusiasm…
sad to see the 3ds isn’t on there this year
Chrome OS
Those are supposed to be for homework…
ChromeOS is for the internet and the internet is for porn. Ergo, vis-a-vis, concordantly…
Anatomy & physiology research
Your school administrator is watching with you!
Who knew this would be the year Linux on the wankoff.
All the iPhone users can afford OnlyFans.
jokes aside it’s probably because of US states banning porn sites, and Apple makes up for like 80% of US phones
Yeah, except the states dumb enough to ban porn only have like 1% of the US population.
That’s not true. Texas is the largest state to be affected by the pornhub ban, and Texas makes up 9% of the US population. Including all
1216 of the states with pornhub restrictions, the total is actually 24% of the US population. Those are big enough numbers to swing stats.Now you have to consider which users are more likely to know how to use a VPN on their system and realize that a lot of traffic is being re-routed through other states and countries.
Where are you getting 12 from? I’m seeing 8.
You’re correct, though. As far as I can tell, nearly a quarter of all Americans are geographically blocked from Pornhub (unless they use a VPN).
My source was a map posted to Reddit in July 2024. However after doing more research, Wikipedia reports it is now actually 16 states.
Emphasis mine:
February 2024: the Attorney General of the state of Texas sued Aylo/Pornhub for allegedly not obeying the state’s legal age verification law.[141][142][143] As of March 2024, Pornhub and other Aylo-owned websites have blocked access in Texas, due to the adoption of an age verification law which usually mandates age verification through the use of an identity document. In states where Pornhub is blocked, which also include Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Florida, Nebraska, Indiana, Kansas, Idaho, Kentucky, and Oklahoma; a message is displayed featuring pornstar Cherie DeVille criticizing such laws.[
Maybe those guys watched a lot of porn last year?
I ran this through an AI, so take it with a grain of salt… But the percentage is actually, ostensibly, 24.6%.
That’s more then enough to explain the descrepencies in the data.
Edit: The work ChatGPT showed, in case this is wrong.
Texas: 30.5 million
Florida: 22.6 million
Virginia: 8.7 million
Indiana: 6.8 million
Louisiana: 4.6 million
Mississippi: 2.9 million
Arkansas: 3.0 million
Utah: 3.4 million
Total population = 82.5 million
The total U.S. population is approximately 335 million.
You’re way off. In November 2024 iOS only made up 56% of the current market share. In October, android and iOS nearly achieved parity with one another.
https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/united-states-of-america
Worldwide, Android holds 71% of the market share. I wonder if this will change if and when Chinese companies gain traction with their own alternative OS’s, though.
How? Id imagine they broke after purchasing their $900 monitor stand
Or iphone users are only a small percentage of phone users?
This graph isn’t US-centric and Android is a lot more popular in the world. The US is the skewed one here.
6.9% when?

In this case the beatings have improved morale.
