How do they know this? Is Linux botnet?

Windows btfo 2016 is year of linux dekstop

Pajeet Nutella on loo watch.

They look at web traffic surveys and the associated user agent data which generally contains:
Which web browser and its version data
The host operating system and its version data

For example:
>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36
Is the user agent string for Chrome 41 on Windows 7

Here you go OP
check your own sources next time

wtf? 2% of desktop users use linux?

who the hell are these people?

Does Android count as Linux here?

your browser gives away your os
and then google just needs to have a tiny bit of js running on 90% of websites (which it does) and collect the information

im guessing its something like that. not very accurate but it gives you somewhat of an idea about the marketshares n stuff

Underated comment

>Desktop marketshare
Are you retarded?

No, obviously it doesn't. Android is the most popular OS in the world.

GOOD JOB PINGU-CHAN

YOU CAN DO IT

FOR HONOR

Does Chrome OS and shit like remix OS count?

fuck those retarded, we geeks are the best

> implying the majority of Linux users even use the internet

Why ever would I do that?
Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Firefox/1.0.7
Works good enugh

You'll be on 3% by 2050!

>> implying the majority of Linux users can even use the internet
Fixed.

Which distro do you think all the new guys use?
Ubuntu?

funtoo

Who the hell has a desktop, last one I got was in 2002.

Hackintoshes have a larger install base.

This

User Agent.

Computer gives this information itself. It's like a greeting "Hello, I'm Johny".

every os is a botnet

Ubuntu, because they popularize it agressively.

Topmost kek

Ubuntu IS the best Linux distro. I tried so many and most of the other just suck on desktop, simply because it just works.

>Ubuntu
>not deepin
IF you want a normie distro at least choose the best one. You have shit taste desu senpai

>chinese OS or software

this is a joke, right?
enjoy never doing anything out of fear for compromising your bank info, email, files

...

just wait until I get my Wi-Fi fixed. I don't have internet but I'll tear you a new one from the Starbucks parking lot I swear on me mum

no it's not a joke.
deepin is an open source project, feel free to audit it if you really fear muh evil chinks.

>not spoofing user-agent to a random one for every new window

Just started using Linux at work.

Feels great man.

Maybe that's what generating these bogus results

Me :^)

>tfw don't spoof my user agent just to make it known that people still use my browser

shitty DE performance

So Linux is botnet then

I wound not say, that "Ubuntu" is the best. Best for what? The comp I use likes CentOS 6.

I switched to GNU+Linux fully last year, but I spoof my UA to make it look like I'm using Windows.

>chink botnet
