My November 2018 Linux Snap Package Metrics
Posted onI maintain a few Snap packages (installable Linux software packages) and I’ve been very interested in the metrics that Snapcraft (the Snap Store) provides. It’s a (minor) indicator of how large the snap user base is (or at least growth) as well as how useful a snap may or may not be. In October I started this Linux Snap Package Metrics series and I’ll be updating every month with the numbers until someone tells me otherwise 😄.
Here’s the metrics for snaps I maintain for the past month:
| Snap | # Active Devices | % Change | Top 3 Distros |
|---|---|---|---|
| circleci | 633 | +5.32% | Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian |
| hub | 187 | +107.78% | Ubuntu, Neon, Linux Mint |
| linode-cli | 16 | +300% | Ubuntu, Linux Mint |
| pocket-casts | 57 | n/a (new) | Ubuntu, elementary OS, Linux Mint |
| zsync | 64 | +88.24% | Ubuntu, Manjaro, Neon |
