From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Jesus, what’s going on with Android that it’s putting up such high numbers
Anecdotally, I only visit PH on my phone and I use incognito mode sometimes, which I'm just guessing would count as a unique visit. Probably a lot of people are doing the same thing, and globally more people run Android than iOS.

OS statcounter seems to get to similar numbers, with significant regional differences. Which data source would be more repräsentative and reliable ?
Nice.
That's not me, I contributed to lower that stat since I'm on detox lol
Same here tbh, but I never used my Linux device for it in the first place, so....
