Data Points on GNU/Linux Growth

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 09, 2026

TWO DAYS AGO this site served 1,335,694 Web requests and while it's safe to assume most of them were bots (like those parasitic things that scrape sites to plagiarise them while dubbing that "AI" or "training") it also seems like real traffic more than doubled in recent years. There's this assumption that because more people are using GNU/Linux these days, as surveys indicate, more people will search the Web for related information or "park" in related sites. Similarly, the sister site served 882,453 Web requests that same day, so we're looking at over 2.2 million combined (in one day).

I personally consider that a sign that many people nowadays explore, research or already use GNU/Linux. We need to make information/news available to them. █
