In questa pagina sono riportati una varietà di dati statistici sull'uso di Fedora, in quanto il Fedora Project ritiene che le misurazioni effettuate (dal team Infrastructure), siano un importante strumento di analisi.

Dati statistici su Fedora 39
A differenza del metodo usato nelle precedenti versioni (Fedora 9 - 12) che lasciava qualche dubbio sull'effettivo conteggio di tutti in numeri IP unici, l'attuale metodo è incrementale, ed anche se più lento, dovrebbe essere più accurato.
I numeri delle tabelle non rappresentano il numero totale degli utenti Fedora. Si conteggiano gli indirizzi IP poichè sono l'unico grandezza fisica effettivamente misurabile. I numeri diffusi dagli OEM, la popolarità di certe applicazioni, e tutte le altre stime nel settore, hanno tutti dei fattori di errore intrinseci. Senza una caratterisitica di vendita o un processo di registrazione 1:1, il conteggio degli utenti rimane un problema con gravi errori di stima. La sezione in basso, Accuratezza delle metriche, approfondisce il problema legato al conteggio degli indirizzi IP.
Quando qualcuno dice di aver stimato un certo numero di utenti, occorre chiedersi:
- Precisamente, come si è arrivati a questo numero?
- Per Fedora la risposta si trova nella pagina this page.
- Dove si trovano i dati, in modo da poterli elaborare per riprodurre i risultati?
- In Fedora, per ottenere i dati grezzi, occorre avere accesso ai nostri host: il team Infrastructure, che si interessa di elaborare i dati è aperto a chiunque voglia partecipare nel loro lavoro.
Accuratezza delle metriche
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:
- Users who have dynamic IP addresses will likely be counted multiple times, which inflates the number by some amount.
- 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.

Smolt Data
Smolt is Fedora's hardware profiling project. It is an opt-in database that tracks unique installations of Fedora, and various details about that install. People who install to runlevel 5 will be able to opt-in during firstboot, but people who install to runlevel 3 will have to install the smolt client via yum and manually register.
BitTorrent
The following table shows the number of downloads that have been made over BitTorrent. This table shows downloads only through trackers connected to the official torrent server.
| Downloads from bittorrent (as of 2010-07-27) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sulphur (F9) | Cambridge (F10) | Leonidas (F11)[1] | Constantine (F12) | Goddard (F13) |
| 443,932 | 523,022 | 363,629 | 299,633 | 72,372 |
- ↑ The statistics for BitTorrent were interrupted on or about 2009-09-04 Fedora 11 because of a torrent server reset. Totals at that time are added to the current totals (F10: 306,696, F11: 169,832).
Direct Download
The following table shows the number of direct downloads of Fedora 39 media from unique IP addresses, as shown in the web proxy logs. The actual number of raw downloads tends to be much higher.
