I like looking in dnf countme data to see the various distros requesting EPEL repos. There are often many weird distro names showing up in the single digits. But this one jumped out at me with 38 hits last week:

"SUSE Liberty Linux"

Is @SUSE creating a RHEL compatible distro?

The dnf countme data is available here:

data-analysis.fedoraproject.org/csv-reports/co…

Some other counts from last week:

807530 - CentOS Linux
243165 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux
72903 - CentOS Stream
38521 - AlmaLinux
27647 - Rocky Linux

3185 - CloudLinux
112 - Springdale Open Enterprise Linux
111 - Virtuozzo Linux

38 - SUSE Liberty Linux
36 - RedHawk Linux
28 - EuroLinux
23 - Anolis OS
23 - BigCloud Enterprise Linux
22 - Syneto Juno
10 - Mageia

1 - SiemOS Linux
1 - CentOS Linux Stream
1 - Welcome QS-WSM!
1 - CentOS
1 - MIV Terminals Management
1 - Indocker Linux
1 - Nube de Virtualizaci\xc3\xb3n Privada
1 - CentOS Linux 7
1 - TeknologIT Linux

I'll note that these numbers are generated from me taking the raw data, and filtering for:

repo_tag = epel-8
os_version = starting with 8 (8, 8.4, etc)

That filtering is needed because without it you'll see weird mistakes like people adding EPEL8 to CentOS 7.

I've been playing around with matplotlib to chart this data over time. Due to the difference in scale it's necessary to split into different ranges. The "Liberty" systems started showing up in August, with a high of 79 systems the week of 2021-09-06 to 2021-09-12.
