Linux rarely appears on its own. 79.7% of these developers also work with Python, and the rest of the common pairings are JavaScript (71.4%), Bash / Shell (67.7%) and HTML (65.7%). Searching for one of those alongside Linux narrows the pool without losing the people who would actually be a fit.
A typical Linux developer in the index made 166 public contributions over the last twelve months across 37 public repositories. That median is the useful filter: it separates people who write Linux regularly from people who listed it once.
50 countries have enough Linux developers in the index to break out separately, so you can start from a location rather than filtering down to one.

All Linux developer profiles are refreshed from public GitHub activity. When a developer pushes new code or updates their profile, those changes are picked up in the next sync so you are always seeing current information.
