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.

OS statcounter seems to get to similar numbers, with significant regional differences. Which data source would be more repräsentative and reliable ?
why do i find this funny.
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.

Do they provide any source on how data is collected ? Does „only technically necessary cookies“ include in this data or is this an opt in only. Is there any method to filter out bot traffic? ( many downloader use an androidTV ID)
I feel like the math in this headline is off.
