More importantly, it's the year of Windows 11... also known as the Inadvertent Year of the Linux Desktop.

what is other? kaios, postmarketos?
The BSDs for one
I meant for mobile
Year of the windows phone baby!
Is Blackberry still around? Could include that if they haven't switched to Android.
I assume it’s mostly not detected correctly
Much as it has been for the past 15 years.
Switched a few months ago. No regrets.
I myself have gotten 2 friends to get a steam deck that otherwise would have gotten a windows laptop (or a switch =P), and am working on a 3rd
Haha Pornhub - proof that most visitors use Windows, and they're a bunch of wankers.
Blows my mind that 50% of mobile visitors are Apple, when 80% of the world uses Android (Though I guess Ph is probably more popular in anglo/european countries which uses more iPhones anyway)
You know, I do wonder how many of these statistics are influenced by Linux users tendancy to use adblockers and block tracking. Linux could be more popular than it looks.
Also, they should tell us how much of that increase is due to the Steam Deck. :P
Unfortunately, due to the constant willful or untested shenanigans of various website I have set up all my system's Firefox profiles to spoof by default its user agent (and other JavaScript properties) as Windows 11, x86_64, Firefox LTS (even if I use latest, Aurora or beta). Some blantant recent example: YouTube uses lower quality options on browsers running on Arm-based systems — misreporting as an x86 CPU appears to be a widespread browser fix
Doing so has helped me and many friends/family I switched to a flavor of Linux (mostly Mint, but sometimes LMDE or Ubuntu or specific requirements/demands) avoid numerous dumb problems.
Even on mobile sometimes UX breaking issues creep up.
Who are these others I wonder
The year of netbsd desktop!
OpenVMS, obviously.
Where did they come from? India?
