Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    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?

    Great point! :)
