Thank you, Neil! This is very interesting...
I was curious to see NB stats through time... I downloaded the stats from ASF CDN and summarized them...

I thought they'd be interesting to share. Windows exe x86_64 189,079 (82.91%) macOS pkg x86_64 11,689 (5.13%) macOS pkg arm64 12,988 (5.70%) Linux deb x86_64 9,161 (4.02%) Linux deb arm64 1,992 (0.87%) Linux rpm x86_64 3,146 (1.38%) TOTAL 228,055 Figures from GitHub API via live view at https://tooomm.github.io/github-release-stats/?username=friends-of-apache-netbeans&repository=netbeans-installers This is a 10x - 15x increase on community installer usage prior to NetBeans 26. In previous years of those, this was the slowest 3 month period of the year - be interesting to see if that holds true now. Stats for the binary and source zips from ASF CDN are at https://infra-reports.apache.org/ (committers only, requires log in). The various stats there don't properly align though, and don't cover the full release period. Binary zip is probably comparable to the total installer downloads, source about a third of that. Curiously it reports a higher Windows percentage for the zips than with the installers, which seems a little unlikely. Snap and other sources are not measured as far as I know? Just some food for thought ... as with all stats, to be enjoyed with a good pinch of salt! :-) Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
