Useful to have one more platform to check Linux’s growth.
In addition to Pornhub and Steam, the USA government tracks platform usage as well.
Those are three important things for it to track.
switched 4 years ago from windows to linux. Currently garbage collecting my brain of any windows remnants and happy for it. Running NixOS with an awesome development workspace
Switched fully to Linux 3 years ago after close to 25 years of windows. Just saying. Never going back. Ever. For nothing. Worst case scenario I can run a windows VM if I need something very specific, that’s it. So far for 3 years I could run anything and everything I want. The things I can’t as kernel level anti cheat games… Fuck em. More free time for more producting shit and better games.
DAP uses Google Analytics 360 to measure traffic and engagement across thousands of federal government websites and apps, reporting analytics under a single federal-wide shared account. Google Analytics 360 is the paid, enterprise version of Google Analytics 4 (GA4).

DAP is what the government is using, according to the Github post / page. And it’s important and equally interesting to know what the stats on the Github page exclude to present the data: https://github.com/CodebergIsBetter/platform-share-usa-gov/blob/main/analysis/os_filter.json (I love transparency)
Love that the username is “Codeberg is better”.
I want to believe that, but if it’s coming from the USA Gov, it’s immediately sus.
Of the desktop presumably. Of the server and other devices market its a lot more that.
@BrightCandle i would be surprised if there were a significant amount of users visiting the usa government websites through a Linux server
sounds oddly niche :P
I mean Lynx and Browsh exist for terminal web surfing…but yeah that is niche
Poor BSD at 0.0%.
BSD does what it does, and does well at it.
what it does? nobody can tell you, but it’s the best at it.
Good. Fuck Microsoft. No regrets about running Linux for the past few years.
5% support is enough for public funding from the Federal Elections Commission come next election season.
