According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.

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.

Linux users are gooners confirmed.

Pornhub is lowkey a very skilled tech company. Delivering a quality video platform on the scale they do is incredibly difficult.

Also obligatory: Year of the Linux Desktop! 🎉

the age of linux is cumming upon os.

ok this is really bad , ill see myself out....

That's all me ur welcome gais

Now I want to see the usage stats for e621.

So what you're saying is that there are more wankers on Linux nowadays!???

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?

Probably Steam Deck users with that handheld device in one hand and their handheld device in the other.

My apologies, this data is misleading. Most of the new traffic is actually just me mass downloading and data hoarding porn across thousands of VMs. Whenever I need to rub one out I ssh into one of them and watch it that way. Keeps it off my main machine and keeps my browser history clean.

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.

New gens are ruining everything - "vertical video" gen-z, really?
Y'all need a spanking.

That's one horney Linux user

Windows grew?

Sorry guys... My gooning streaks are skewing the data; I'm the masturbations Georg and shouldn't have been counted...

Would this data get screwed up by VPNs?

Firefox have 8 percent on desktop that's great

Is anyone working at a FOSS and federated alternative to pornhub?

That link is amazing... they even have maps 😂 !

Does porn work well on Linux ? looking to switch

My guess is the increase is due to two factors: Linux based vms scraping PH content to create tensor training models for nsfw AI image generators and individuals in the U.S. visiting behind a vpn that’s registering to the client as a Linux device. I’d visit the link but I’m not behind a vpn.

In Hub we trust.

Year of the desktop

Just fapped as a celebration 🎉

Is it finally the year of Linux?

(ง’̀-‘́)ง

Guys, we're losing big to mobile devices. Although I'm glad Australia is still going strong at 12% desktop computer.

love to see windows shrinking

Nice.

What Useragent do AI Bots send?

OS statcounter seems to get to similar numbers, with significant regional differences. Which data source would be more repräsentative and reliable ?

Under video game consoles, it lists 0.1% for "Other (3DS/PS Vita)". Unless PornHub offers 3D porn that works on the 3DS (do they?!), I refuse to believe even 0.01% would use the 3DS browser in this capacity.

(On the other hand, that's 0.1% of video game consoles, and I can't imagine too many people use their consoles for porn in the first place... Basically I'd love to see absolute numbers for this)

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

Who is using chromeos for that?

So, Linux doesn't have a general icon and ChromeOS's icon isn't used, what could be an ideal icon/logo for the Linux Kernel, I wonder?

WhatsApp recently pulled support for some older iOS versions and devices, a lot of ppl threw them away and got Androids instead(as they should), I wonder if that's related to iOS's decrease.

I don't like YoY share percentage point delta. It's misleading and making it seem like a significant number of Mac users left, although they probably just stagnated while more Windows and Linux users came. I'd rarher see YoY absolute number delta.

You saw the comment and verified it. We'll done.

I switched from Windows to Linux then went back to Windows cause of mutliplayer games and I'm not sure I'm a fan....like its kinda annoying having to udpate my programs individually.

You guys sure are a thirsty lot.

Jesus, what’s going on with Android that it’s putting up such high numbers

So 2025 is the Linux on mobile year?!! 0.05% !

why do i find this funny.

I feel like the math in this headline is off.

That's not me, I contributed to lower that stat since I'm on detox lol

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)
