OpenStore Stats for 2025
-
The tradition of OpenStore stats continues! As with last year we've seen steady growth, especially with efforts to bring forward apps from Xenial to Focal & Nobel (big thanks to Weston Howard on that!). The OpenStore itself has had several improvements, especially around the new website. Overall a very positive year for Ubuntu Touch!

Thanks for posting the stats! Looks like 2025 was a great year for UT! Here's looking forward to another great year in 2026!

Is it my bad math, or should +131 -1 = +130, not +129 in the very first paragraph?
-
@danfro nope! Apparently it should have been -2 instead of -1. I've updated it in the original post.
-
This btw is also why I'm not so happy on the "dump xenial" train, there are more xenial devices than both focal and noble combined
Funny seeing 47 focal amd64 downloads lol
Maintaining 53 apps... That blows my mind
-
@Caedem likely not how it works. The 3.5.1 was the last xenial release. Those 9k focal devices, are those who moved from xenial to focal. So there would be a bit less than 4k xenial left with numbers shrinking.
And we need to drop them for security reasons at some point. Or can you justify providing a unmaintained insecure system? Also some older devices will simply die due to hardware breaking.
