Windows 10 certainly gaining popularity faster then expected, well it is a free upgrade of course. I was curious and checked a few things out. Out of the past 30 days 19.20% of the Guru3D reader-base has migrated towards Windows 10. In this small news-item i'll also share some statistics on resolutions and browser choices.

It is in line with numbers that Steam users show in their hardware survey, on Steam it is just over 16%. Windows 10 as such is ahead of Windows 8, And Windows Vista. To date Windows 7 remains the leader with an install base of 39.85% of the Guru3D visitors. This data is based on 3.2 Million browser sessions started in the past month.

Browser
Some other statistics you might be interested in, 58% uses Chrome as browser, 21% Firefox and only 7% Internet Explorer. Interesting to see is that Edge came out of nothing and stepped in at2%, coming from nothing that is a quick gain ever since Windows 10 was released.

Screen Resolution
36% has a screen resolution of 1920x1080, second place is taken by 1366x768 (laptops) with 9% and then resolutions of 2560x1440, 1920x1200, 1680x1050 all eat away roughly 5%

Ultra HD at 3840x2160 is used by 0.35% of you guys and 3440x1440 is used by 0.32%

Ubuntu isn't that bad, as long as you don't mind Canonical and Amazon snooping.....

That is actually why I asked

I prefer other newer lighter distros (even some Ubuntu forges) on old slow laptops and desktop vm's, Ubuntu needs to much horsepower these days, unless we start to look at the server versions where Ubuntu runs pretty well on almost nothing.
