      Same reason Android is its own category. It is shown separately in the user-agent string and its market-share is large enough to differentiate.

      You can’t do shit on chrome os. Actually the worst os ever, costing the same amount for laptops with the point that chrome can definitely run an entire operating system that has 1gb of RAM. I don’t understand why anybody would want it. There is a very big difference.

        The “can’t do anything” factor is what makes it appealing to so many schools and businesses who issue these machines. Cheap and less likely to have a software headache created for IT to solve.

          But as soon as they do (and they will, it’s pretty common for students to test the limits of those Chromebooks restrictions) it is so very difficult to fix.

      There are plenty of other more popular OSes. My bet would be FreeBSD. As I believe it would be the most popular one after Linux.

        Also folks hiding their user agent string or doing something cheeky like “Notepad/1.0”

        Could be PlayStation “system software” which is Free Bsd based

        Edit: On the other hand, would it be marked as “Desktop” then, idk

    Honestly, I started going to pornhub much more this year because my two main sources of porn banned third party apps: twitter and reddit. As a privacy conscious Linux user, I refused to used the official ones. I’m sure I’m not alone.

    Apple has nowhere near that market share in Europe, so I have to assume that the yanks are a proper bunch of wankers 😂
