Yes, I know that the ranking is not a good metric of real world use.

Just posting this because MX Linux has been in the number one spot for a long time (2 years perhaps?) and it’s surprising to see some other distro on the top of their site.

    I really like mint although i never used it again.
    Pros using mint :

    • It’s easy to learn
    • It’s stable
    • It’s Windows XP like
    • Not recourse hogging like KDE
    • Easy to customize

    Cons using mint :

    • It’s debian based

      Why is Debian based a problem? I ask this as my first IRL Linux user that taught me about Linux still uses Debian Unstable as his daily driver workhorse, and he is a CS Theory Doctor, and has to reboot his system once a year or so to keep it functioning properly.
