I'm colour blind so there's basically only three colours on this graph but what I'm assuming is showing is that windows is decreasing in popularity and apparently so is OS X. I'm assuming the other colour is Linux or Chrome but no idea which is which.

For future reference, when making graphs make them in black and white first and if they are visually distinct then you can add whatever colours you want.

Here's a table version of this graph: |Year-Month| Windows, %| OS X, %| Unknown, %| Linux, %| Chrome OS, %| iOS, %| Android, %| Playstation, %| macOS, %| Other, %| |

Unfortunately I can't paste the whole table here because of character limit so look at it here if you want to (in Markdown format).

Unknown is kind of a lot here

BeOS is making a serious comeback

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

About time. That and AmigaOS I think. What a world we'd live in!

I have a feeling it's a lot of privacy-obsessed Linux users.

  • Windows (at the top)
  • OSX
  • Unknown
  • Linux
  • Chrome
  • IOS
  • Other (dotted)
