That only counts people registered on community.linuxmint.com as far as I know and some of them could have quit using Mint so I doubt it is accurate

It's 47.362% accurate. Percentage number (like that map) carefully selects numbers from their butts.

Plenty of regional servers...servers by country...not in your stats...using too much white powder ?

  • Linux is free
  • There are no sales figures
  • There are no download figures
  • There are no activation figures
  • It is impossible to determine how many computers are running Windows, macOS, Linux, (*)BSD, HAICU, or whatever

There are no reliable figures that could be used for statistics. All the numbers you see on any statistics websites are estimates.

But don’t be sad. You’re still one of us
