Revision as of 17:35, 1 July 2014

This page contains a variety of statistics about Fedora's usage. The Fedora Project believes that metrics are an important tool.

Who uses Fedora?

Lots of different people. Millions, in fact -- many millions! You can see some notable examples on the Overview page.

Yum Data

Total repository connections

Total connections to repositories
Fedora 7 Fedora 8 Fedora 9 Fedora 10 Fedora 11 Fedora 12 Fedora 13 Fedora 14 Fedora 15 Fedora 16 Fedora 17 Fedora 18 Fedora 19 Fedora 20
4,603,852 7,886,126 4,323,223 5,041,265 5,433,399 6,328,796 5,421,047 7,236,866 3,679,668 4,386,733 5,356,148 3,001,321 2,403,218 2,645,535
TOTAL UNIQUE IPs: 54944818
This total is not a simple sum of the counts above. It

is a list of unique IP addresses that have connected across all releases.



Currently, there is no reliable way to determine the total number of Linux users, or even count the total number of users of any Linux distribution which does not have a mandatory per user registration process.
Anyone who tells you otherwise may be misinformed, dishonest, or trying to sell you something.

The numbers above do not represent a total user or usage count or overall downloads for Fedora. Correlation of the number between different releases of Fedora is difficult since the way our infrastructure is setup and the way we count IP connections has changed over time. We are counting IP addresses because that is the only thing we can reliably measure. OEM shipping numbers, application popularity contests, and other "estimates" all have intrinsic error factors as well. Without a 1:1 sales figure or registration process, user counting is a difficult problem to solve. Our accuracy section below has a discussion of what's wrong with IP number counts, too.

When you hear someone estimate a count of users, the right questions to ask are:

Precisely how did you arrive at this number?
For Fedora the answers are located at this page.
Where is the data located, so someone can duplicate the process?
Although you do need appropriate access to our logging hosts to gather the data, our Infrastructure team does welcome people who want to participate in their work.

Accuracy of metrics

The numbers above, for yum, represent unique IP addresses that reach our update server, not simply downloads. We believe it is reasonable to equate a "new IP address checking in" with "a new installation of Fedora", with the following caveats:

  1. Users who have dynamic IP addresses will likely be counted multiple times, which inflates the number by some amount.
  2. Users who are behind NAT or corporate proxies will not be counted at all.

The anecdotal evidence that we receive from different groups, companies, and organizations suggests that group (2) is significantly larger than group (1). As such, we believe that the true numbers in the field are higher than the numbers on this page.
