From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The fact that you need consent to get this data would make a randomized approach impossible.

Yes. It just may be possible that accurate poll data on such things isn't possible.

Steam hardware survey but that will skew towards gamers. That said, it would be a good indicator on how compatible Wayland is.

The Steam hardware survey will skew towards whatever it is the Steamdeck uses in the surveyed categories.
