Wow, that's impressive! However, when I check on Distrowatch it's only in the 30s. Is there a better statistic? Something more representative of actual amounts of installs on anything at all?
- silisili 5y agoI've been down this path before and I can say for sure two things - 1 - Distrowatch stats are both gamed and useless 2 - There's no easy way to see which distro is most popular on the whole.
- yumiris 5y agoDistroWatch counts by clicks to the distro's page from what I remember. Its statistics represent the "interest", rather than install count. With regard to Alpine Linux on Docker, the install count[0] of the base image should give an idea (over 1 billion!). [0] https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine Edit: clarity
- teawrecks 5y agoiirc every intel cpu runs minix on its management engine. Might be a contender.
