Hi Erik,
Thanks for getting the new OS stats up on:
https://analytics.wikimedia.org/dashboards/browsers/#all- sites-by-os/os-family- timeseries
That said as far as we can tell the detection of Fedora does not work at all currently and we can not figure out why. Ubuntu which is detected uses the following user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
While Fedora which isn't detected uses this user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Would you be so kind to let us know what the wikimedia analytics engine uses to try to identify Fedora systems? We can tweak our user agents quite easily if that is easier than updating the analytics engines way of detecting Fedora.
Sincerely,
Christian F.K. Schaller
