Stackoverflow 2025 Developer Survey, OS Usage - Lemmy.World

Compare with 2024: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#1-operating-system [https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#1-operating-system]

It’s very weird that Linux is broken up into Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Linux (non-WSL), Fedora, etc, etc. but none of the other OSes are. Example: Windows isn’t broken into Server 2022, Server 2025, Windows 10 home, Windows 10 iot, Windows 10 S, etc, etc.

It’s very hard to tell what the total numbers are as you can’t just add these together, since an indivdual might use several.

I suspect it’s because they allowed users to select multiple, 'cause if you add all the personal Linuxes together, you get 61% on their own.

Regardless, it’s actually looking really good for Team Free Software.
