https://www.distrowatch.com/ https://www.distrowatch.com/ -> Deepin is the 10th most common distro.

  It ranked 2013: 55th, 2014: 24th, 2015: 18th, 2016: 11th, 2017: 11th, 2018: 21st and presently, in 2019, is at 10th spot. That's quite a shot to stardom, and yet, judging from the replies, I don't seem to be the only one who's never heard of it. Still, I'd be interested to know, how Deepin is doing in China, is it comparable to Ubuntu in the Western world?

    Stardom among the small number of people visiting a random website. > They simply show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch.com was accessed each day, nothing more. https://www.distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity https://www.distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity

  No, that number is completely meaningless. The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics are a light-hearted way of measuring the popularity of 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.

    > of measuring the popularity of Linux distributions and other free operating systems among the visitors of this website. Agree. It's a trending barometer. Given that Deepin is in the news now because of Huawei, we can expect a few more hits on their distrowatch page.
