Flatpak download statistics by Linux distribution

Is there some option to see flatpak download by Linux distribution?

For on example snapcraft.io I can see the following statistics for Firefox snap package:

At the right site are total number of downloads of package by Linux distribution. What is nice to see is, is If I build deb/rpm it will effect only few distributions, but is I made sandbox like package (snap or flatpak) I can see they are installed on many Linux distributions. I would like to know what is Linux distribution by particular flatpak download.

Any statistics on that?

No, that would need a flatpak change, see [Feature request]: Report distro name in useragent · Issue #5549 · flatpak/flatpak · GitHub

Now after year and a half I see @razzeee link and this feature request is marked as Closed and I see some source code as merged. I have searched few of flatpaks, but can’t see this info on Flathub web site for individual flatpak. Did I miss something or this info is still not available on Flathub?

It was released as part of Flatpak 1.17.0 which is an unstable release. It needs to reach a stable Flatpak release (which is going to be 1.18.0) to get to distro repos, which is how most users consume Flatpak. 1.18.0 will be out in a couple of years, although there is no timeline.

Once that happens, we also need to add some code to start parsing the new data.
