Raspberry Pi Imager download statistics: time series 2021–2026 (rpi-os-trends)

Time series of the shares of operating systems, host architectures and locales among downloads through the Raspberry Pi Imager, as published by Raspberry Pi Ltd at rpi-imager-stats.raspberrypi.com. Every point is the rolling 30-day window of the source page. Sampling. The source page keeps no history. Points from October 2021 to June 2026 were recovered from snapshots in the Internet Archive (irregular spacing, typically one to several per month; locale and host architecture are available from February 2022). Since 17 August 2026 the series is collected weekly by a GitHub Action. The whole series was parsed with the corrected parser described in the README (an earlier version dropped the leading row of each table; that error affected only the former live snapshot, not this time series). Files. data/history.csv (long format: date, dimension, label, percent), data/history.json (same series), data/rpi_os_stats.json (latest snapshot incl. all dimensions and periods), plus the collection and backfill scripts. Scope. Shares refer to downloads via the Raspberry Pi Imager only, not to the installed base. Images written with dd, vendor flashers or distribution repositories are not counted.
