Canonical has published user statistics collected during the first six months of running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
The data was released yesterday after the release of Ubuntu 18.10 and revealed enough information about the facilities, including details of the computer, the languages used, the country of installation and much more.
With the launch of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Canonical began collecting information from users who decided to join. According to the company, 66% of users gave their approval for collecting information. The company found that the clean facilities constituted 80% of the total installations, while the upgrades were 20%.
