@Dragonmouth,

Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your feedback and understand your concern. You’re absolutely right that the list has evolved, and based on the most recent DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking (PHR) as of January 6, 2025.

I have updated the rankings accordingly. The new list now includes Mint, EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Pop!_OS, and openSUSE, as they are among the top contenders. I strive to keep the content as relevant and up-to-date as possible, and your input helps improve the accuracy of the information shared.

Thank you for pointing that out!

Your personal likes?
According to today’s (1/6/2025) DW PHR list. Mint, EndevourOS, CachyOS, Pop!-OS and openSUSE should be on the list but aren’t.

Yours is the same, hackneyed list that tech writers and pundits have been serving up for many years, with minimal changes, as the “best” or “most popular”. It seems like everybody is reading from the same script.

Yes, I was surprised that SuSE and RedHat were not on the list. But, who knows how they come up with their lists?.

From DistroWatch themselves @ https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity

The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics are a light-hearted way of measuring interest in Linux distributions and other free operating systems among the visitors of this website. They correlate neither to usage nor to quality and should not be used to measure the market share of distributions. They simply show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch was accessed each day, nothing more.
