That info does not exist, tracking users of open source projects is next to
impossible, atleast without including software that phones-home
data, which we don't do.

Since I have joined the community in 2010 until now, I have tried so many times
to find an answer to this Q but I have failed so far and I agree with Tim, it
is next to impossible. I so much love statistics but sometimes, you can't get
all what you want/wish.
About the only data available is the number of downloads for packages on the
gnome3-team ppa's (since they are not fragmented by mirrors)
however I suspect only a small portion of our users use the PPa's. Otherwise
its really left to completely useless metrics like distrowatch and
numbers of social media followers
Attached is a screenshot from Ubuntu GNOME Facebook Page.
Please note, this is JUST what Facebook is showing and it is NOT 100% accurate
and it will NOT give you any real data of our users at all. However, it is a
good way to understand at least where our users are coming from :)
Number of downloads will never ever tell anyone anything useful. I am one user
who could download the same ISO 100 times per month/year, not to mention
different versions. Even the data on Distrowatch is just for fun:
http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity
But then again, it is good to take a look and get some estimate data :)
Oh, our Google+ page has more viewers than some other flavours but yes, that
means nothing accurate, just a figure to give an estimate idea of how
active/popular that channel is :)
