The unanswered question still is: Is MX-Linux more popular than Linux Mint? And how to find out reliably? - No, sorry, I have not got a valid answer to both questions. Is there some kind of hysteria in some of the reactions which the question "Why is MX-Linux more popular than LinuxMint?" has provoked?
Now that MX-Linux, for whichever reason, seems to have taken over the page view pole position, users mentioning so are disqualified as "trolls" and their thread as "trolling"?!ĭo some of us perhaps secretly suspect that the number of page views on Distrowatch might be a valid indicator of how popular a Linux distribution is? And the same people just do not want to even think about the possibility that Linux Mint might have lost its long time pole position? Lost to a distribution, the name of which a lot of Linux Mint users may not even have ever read before this thread started? But apart from this no-one was called names, if he mentioned that Linux Mint was at the top of the page view list on Distrowatch.
Truthfully someone would come along and explain that page views on Distrowatch were not the most reliable way of determining popularity. What does some of us make use of the terms "troll" and "trolling", merely because a forum user asks, "Why is MX-Linux more popular than LinuxMint?", and points to Distrowatch as the piece of evidence that MX-Linux might currently be more popular than Linux Mint?Ĭould it be because the situation that Linux Mint has had less page views recently on Distrowatch than MX-Linux makes some of us feel like being caught in a plight?Īs long as Linux Mint was on the top of the page view list, no-one complained in case someone mentioned so. So, it is no surprise that desktop Linux has been unpopular among the ordinary masses = has a very low world market share of about 2% since the 1990s, unlike Linux-based Android, a newbie-friendly mobile OS right from its beginning in 2007. Today, Ubuntu should have a few hundred developers while Linux Mint should have less than 50 developers. Only in 2012, did Ubuntu become newbie-friendly. In turn, Linux Mint came out in 2006 by piggy-backing off the work of Ubuntu developers. In 2003, the for-profit Canonical Inc came out with Ubuntu by piggy-backing off the work of Debian developers.

So, the first GNU/Linux distro sponsored by Richard Stallman's FSF(Free Software Foundation), Debian in 1993, could only be used by techgeeks, even until today = the work of about 100 Linux community developers.

Historically, GNU/Linux was developed in the 1980s by techgeeks for techgeeks who wanted to avoid closed-source Windows and MacOSX, so that they could tinker with OS program coding to their hearts' delight, eg forking GNU/Linux distros and Linux apps left, right and center. Archlinux is like Debian = could only be used by techgeeks. Manjaro Linux is a newbie-friendly distro based on Archlinux. Also, by default, MX-Linux uses the XFCE DE which is light on computer resources = suitable for older computers. So, those who want to avoid Ubuntu would often turn to MX-Linux, eg to avoid Ubuntu's Snap Store and "ugly" Gnome DE.
Linux Mint, Peppermint OS, Zorin OS, Linux Lite, etc are based on Ubuntu. MX-Linux is a newbie-friendly Linux distro based directly on Debian, same as Ubuntu and SparkyLinux. But I am wondering WHY MX-Linux is the most "viewed" distro right now? And therefore the " most popular" one.
