Pornhub’s 2024 statistics show that almost 5% of traffic came from Linux devices. This number doesn’t include PCs that are used purely for work (probably).
Pornhub’s audience is 75% male, and Linux users are almost all male too (and … no offence guys but probably more likely to rely on porn), so I wouldn’t take that as a representative global figure.
Statcounter gives 1.4% which is much more likely to be unbiased (and sounds way more plausible based on my experience of real life).
Stay tuned for the 2024 Lemmy.ca survey as it will include questions about which operating system you use on your desktop and phone, let’s hope we can crack well past that 5% mark!
And 4% of gaming is on Linux. 5% of PH traffic ≠ 5% market share, because I bet mobile devices are part of their metric (and are they counting the same ones twice if the same PC uses a different IP?).
2% is excellent growth, but there’s a long way to go to even compete with Apple (which is second place at 20-25%, iirc).

No, desktop and mobile are counted separately in the Pornhub survey.
You’re underestimating the market share as according to Statcounter and the Valve Hardware Survey the marketshare is at 4.03% and 2.03%.
