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.

Reporting is done by users who voluntarily upload their system specs via
# hw-probe -all -upload
I wonder how representative that is of actual software used. I would imagine hardware probes are run from installers and live systems quite frequently. I would certainly not expect several percentage points of "neither" in practical settings.
"Neither" are Linux systems that don't use a display server, i.e. CLI only systems.
Those poor Nvidia users lol.
I mean, by now everyone should know not to buy Nvidia hardware if you want to run Linux on it.
It's been more than 10 years since Linus' finger to Nvidia.
I'm currently on Wayland with Nvidia hardware and it's running fine tbh
yup, same. especially after explicit sync lands in a couple of days, even the rest of the minor problems should vanish.
Reporting is done by users who voluntarily upload their system specs via

So not skewed at all...
Do you have a better way of measuring it?
In what direction would voluntary self-reporting of all system specs skew the display server statistic (and why)?
