I think this is YoY PP growth as a percentage, which might be unintentionally confusing.

Link my friend?
There's an old thing "the thing that won the Video Format Wars was porn", because in the 80s, mail order porn was very popular, and the easiest format (VHS) to buy and record onto won largely because of that.
Makes me wonder if we'll see the same for Operating Systems?
Useragent counts towards this?
Yeah it'll be a naive check of just Useragent, so some of these will be bots, some will be spoofed, etc
PornHub is a treasure trove for... data science
Hey. It's been a lonely year. Don't shame me, bro.
But nobody did...
I watch porn sometimes. Period. No need too add guilt, shame or anything negative too that. It is somethin people do and is part of how people live their sexuality and that's that.
Year of the Linux gooning
I'm doing my part!
Heh, my "part"
angry upvote 😡
Would love to see what kind of porn Linux users watch compared to others.
Polyamorous in public. It's open and anyone can contribute.
Brilliant
"Femboy" or furry, obviously.
I use Arch btw.
Anime? Manga? Tentacle?
Whatever type it's probably esoteric and somehow involves the command line.
Whatever kink, but with consent not sudo.
sudo is asking for permission. It's su that is straight up pillaging.

I love when they give us this hard data. You can take this proof and shove it down hater's throats and perhaps even in other parts of their body.
The safe word is "Torvalds".
And the password for extra punishment is "closed source"
Lots of wankers using Linux, eh?
People probably don’t want to watch it with their Microsoft employee.
unfortunately this is mostly an instance of https://xkcd.com/1102/
Yeah, I wish they'd made the second graph show percentage point difference instead of percentage growth.
It's probably SteamDecks alone.
While that is a good point (and an xkcd I didn't know), the stats say Linux also had the largest absolute growth, so it's not quite as misleading as you make it out to be

Now that Linux is mainstream where do we move to feel elitist? DragonFly BSD? Redox OS?
I preordered a Jolla. Chasing that "0.6 % Other" high.
TempleOS
The real elites shall forever be the Plan9 group. There's dozens of users! Dozens!
SerenityOS is "a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core".
It's good enough to be proud of, while alienating normal people, not incidentally, like linux used to, but on purpose, like this sentence does, making it a great for elitists.
