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.

Do you guys realize how much 40% actually is in a single year? That's crazy. Don't just look at the 5.1%.
I'm sure it's heavily influenced by the Steam Deck, it being a great device for porn and all, but still.
It does correlate with the numbers Steam released a few days or weeks ago.
Windows 11 not installing on "older" machines is big too.
We really need to thank Microsoft. They're pushing a LOT of people to try out the free stuff.
Now I want to see the usage stats for e621.
You wouldn't be surprised :3
If they're anything like me, it's the old laptop that you'd install Linux on as an experiment.
And maybe that laptop was only ah... Semi-retired at the time.
That's all me ur welcome gais
So what you're saying is that there are more wankers on Linux nowadays!???
Maybe they're just watching it for the plot.
Well, been * ahem * told that a friend of a friend didn't found any videos there were "Your friendly neighborhood geek goes into the house of a hot milf to upgrade her Windows 10 machine to Arch and she shows them how hot she found their Linux install skills and how thankful she is", so that seems unlikely.
Haha!
But uh...I would watch that. That sounds pretty hot.
This pretty much HAS to exist.
I am very suspicious of the -26% Apple marketshare. It makes me feel like there's more to this than it seems at first. There's no way 26% of Apple users stopped using Apple devices within a year.
Edit: maybe it could be caused by a large user base increase that shifted the demographics, but this fast? And the PornHub bans across US states started only this year for the most part if I'm not mistaken, so it shouldn't affect this data?
They said in the report that they have grown marketshare in Asia and Africa, as less people use apple in those regions the percentage dropped.
2024 was the release of iOS 17.4, when Apple allowed third party browsers to use their own engine instead of WebKit/Safari as a layer beneath. So it could very well be that Firefox Mobile and Chrome Mobile on iOS don’t get registered as iOS Device in this survey due to their user agent.
No browser uses a different engine yet (presumably because Apple only allows them to offer this in the EU, under draconian conditions).

This is only for iOS and the user agent will still report the OS as iOS. For macOS it was always possible to run third party web engines.
But we don‘t know how pornhub analyzes their data. All the other statistics don‘t support their statistic.

In Hub we trust.
I have ph blocked at dns level, what genres our fellow Linux friend enjoy? There is a difference with other os?

Would this data get screwed up by VPNs?
i doubt it. the user-agent is generated by the browser
Windows grew?
More wankers every year.
