I’ve been wondering how many Linux users are being listed as unknown by statcounter out of curiosity. There has been a big global bump “Unknown”.
Obvious ones are UserAgent spoofers Vpn users but I feel like that’s pretty niche. I’m wondering if SteamOS, Endeavour and BSD show up as Unknown. Furthermore, will just all non-Ubuntu based OS?
I’m (deliberately) being listed as Windows, because some websites are cancer when they smell your Linux.
I honestly don’t remember what happened, but I remember raging at it about 7 years ago, before changing the user agent and since then I’ve always done it like this.

Oh really? This is the first I’ve heard of this. I sometimes have to spoof being Chrome though.
Disney had a broken tracker that didnt made the page load when the agent was Linux
I do the same, often set to windows 10 Chrome because websites will silently shittify themselves based on you using Firefox and/or Linux
As far as I can see the other is Temple OS (or at least everyone on Lemmy says so)
BSD, Haiku, Plan9, RiscOS, etc. Probably mostly BSD.
TempleOS does not have any kind of networking (so no useragents), as funny as it would be to see people trying to daily drive it
Temple OS is a meme.
OS: Linux 0
