Momentum
Each signal is ranked as a percentile among the technologies that have it. A signal without enough history is not counted, and never shown as zero. How momentum works
Momentum
Collecting1 of 5 signalsNo score yet. Momentum is published only when at least 2 of the 5 signals have history. Linux has 1, so there is no single number: each signal is shown on its own below. It is not a zero, and nothing is estimated in its place.

- Its packages’ registries publish no adoption figure, so there is nothing to grow.
- Open models
- No official models
- No official model on Hugging Face, so this signal does not apply.

Adoption by registry
The growth of Linux’s own packages, one row per registry in that registry’s own unit. Registries count different things over different windows, so they are never added together.
No registry has two observations of Linux’s own packages about 30 days apart yet, so there is no growth to show. Nothing is estimated in its place.

Packages
“Is” packages are Linux itself; ecosystem packages depend on them. The two are counted separately and never added together. Adoption is each registry’s own figure, with its percentile within that registry.
