Havent read the article yet, but what was the percentage of Linux

compared
to this one?
I have no idea what the download distribution was with OOo. But I do
know that since AOO 3.4, so for the past two years, the percentages
for Windows, Mac and Linux have remained the same.
Also from a Marketing perspective we should enhance the download to a
distro-specific, like Apache OpenOffice for Ubuntu and Apache
OpenOffice
for Fedora, etc.
Even if you could argue, we hae a .deb and a .rpm, it makes the user
more
secure that his download will work with Ubuntu 14.x
An interesting idea. Could expand it to "Apache OpenOffice for
Windows 8", etc. It confirms that yes, we know what platform you are
running and yes, the download we're giving you is compatible.
Maybe however I think the big issue here are Linux users having a poor
download experience. For example I would have Opera browser does a good job
when handling linux users that want to download their app. However Mozilla
Firefox is pretty poor.
Because Opera offers a dedicated install set for many Linux distros?
And Firefox not?
Firefox is pre-installed on many Linux distros and the need for a
perfect manual download therefore not high. The users get new versions
via the automatic update.
However, I don't know how it is with Opera as it is now also open source
since version 16 (currently 20).

If AOO is bundled into a particular distribution of Linux, I'm guessing
that doesn't count as a download...? So there could be more actual
installations of AOO on Linux than our stats can show?
The article stick with download numbers, not installed base. And yeah the
issue here is that no major distribution is packaging AOO. The DistroWatch
numbers on top distros show LibreOffice as the default Office suite.
