    The repo at the link doesn’t really explain where the data is from, does anyone know?

      The URL saves ‘statcounterdata’ so maybe from https://gs.statcounter.com?

      Which has Linux at just under 4% for Jan 2024, and if you include Chrome OS then it’s over 5%. link

      Statcounter provides free analytics by embedding their code in your site. And their stats come from aggregating all the data from all the sites that use their analytics.

        Wonder if Linux users block Statcounter at a higher rate than other OS users.

        I’d assume uBlock Origin blocks it by default?

          I’d think there’s a pretty high chance!

          But also I wonder if Linux users are more likely to stray off Instagram and TikTok onto smaller sites that might use Statcounter?
