The steam deck does seem like a good device for "bedtime" browsing.

More seriously, this data is probably less biased toward tech literate users than most similar surveys that get published here. This is really encouraging

Lets get past 7% next year ;)

The most compelling evidence I've ever seen for the elusive "year of the Linux Desktop".

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Indeed.

Also great evidence that Windows is not dying, no matter what the Linux fanboys claim.

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

The thing is Linux doesn't need to topple Windows. Linux just needs a big enough market share for companies to go "maybe we should also offer official support for Linux?"

Oh god, don't say that. You're going to summon them. I'm getting out of here...

Hypothesis: Pornhub is effected by a lot of the bans in places like Texas. I don't see ChromeOS or Apple users as the kind of folks who know how to find their ways around those bans, but Windows and Linux users are more likely to via VPNs and such.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Affected*. I don't think special effects are involved.

Possibly a factor, but I don't think a quarter of Apple users are affected by those bans.

[–] happydoors@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I see what you mean but it doesn’t take much to download a VPN app and hit the big green button

sad to see the 3ds isn't on there this year

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Chrome OS

Those are supposed to be for homework...

ChromeOS is for the internet and the internet is for porn. Ergo, vis-a-vis, concordantly...

Is the huge shift shift from iOS to Android to the fact iPhone users are typically less tech savvy, so places that banned porn hub (like Texas) effectively banned those users, who also weren't savvy enough to use a VPN?

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’d be curious to compare this with total internet usage shares

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The internet penetration rate is 67.4% at this time

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

That's an entire 67.4% higher than my penetration rate percentage.

I'm really curious as to what OSs comprise those "Other", both for desktop and mobile

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

That'd sinful!

[–] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Stuff like BSD, Minix, maybe some curios individuals on Solaris? For mobile, Symbian, Windows Mobile? Also, probably all that don't report their OS in the user agent.
