- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoYeah, it seems like a stretch to call the biggest distro "just another distro".
- baybal2 9y agoMATE has been by far the biggest distro for last 4 years
- baybal2 9y agoPfff it was MINT, not MATE
- r3bl 9y agoAlso, no evidence that it was ever the most popular one, other than in Distrowatch clicks.
- baybal2 9y agoI disagree, even without DW, Ubuntu should have an advantage in many many polls, and in automated measurements. Ubuntu has a non-insubstantial corporate install base that should've been registered in user agent statistics, while MINT is a wholly community driven project that don't even have an official "default" browser.
- r3bl 9y agoI think you've misunderstood me. Mint is #1 on Distrowatch. That's pretty much it. Everything else suggests that Ubuntu is more popular. So my parent "no evidence other than DW clicks" is aimed at Mint, not Ubuntu.
