From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Jesus, what’s going on with Android that it’s putting up such high numbers
It runs on a lot more devices like TV boxes idk if that is counted
Anecdotally, I only visit PH on my phone and I use incognito mode sometimes, which I'm just guessing would count as a unique visit. Probably a lot of people are doing the same thing, and globally more people run Android than iOS.
iOS is only massive in the US, everywhere else, Android has a huge market share.
Japan also has 50-69% (nice) market share depending on the source.
A lot more people have android phones than iphones that’s all that is. If anything iOS is overrepresented
What do you mean? It's a massive mainstream operating system used by the majority of phones in the world.
I get it, I fucking love Android. But still a huge percentage
I really don't see what kind of percentage you were expecting. To me it looks almost exactly like the market share of android in the areas of the world where PH is used.
Well, I'm confused as well. Like, I never ever watched porn on my phone. Only on desktop. But apparently I'm a 6% minority.
Me neither. But I also never watched porn on desktop. I watch porn exclusively on Nintendo 2DS. Isn't that what everybody does?
Lmao in hindsight I probably didn't read the graph correctly. Apparently more people want on desktop. I was looking at the dovosoon by country.
Still, are people watching porn in cafes? Or worse, are they masturbating in public? Hmm...
I think smartphones definitely win when it comes to convenience, accessibility, and ease of use. Even at home I use my phone a whole dang lot for general chill purposes, even though I have bigger and better screens to use.
I can't comment on porn because I genuinely never watch porn of any sort (yes, I'm serious), but I have watched and enjoyed YouTube and Netflix et al on my phone, even at home. I usually prefer a bigger screen but sometimes the portability wins out.
