Linux Mint Distro rankings

[Maggie Q]

I visit Distro quite frequently. In the usual page hit ranks in the right hand column, Ubuntu has been reigning highest at the top of the list for as long as I can memorize. Their Distro page hits are at all times in the 1900 to 2400 range on the seven month extend. But what I have observed for regarding the previous month or so: If you alter it to an eight day spread, Mint is crushing them by an average of 350 or so hits for each day. If this keeps up for some more months, Mint may just be the one to knock Ubuntu out of the top mark for the primary time in an extended time.

Actually it is just been at the top of the eight day hypsometer for the previous 5 days, not months, as can be evidence by the reality that we are not top of the month version. We were top in the primary pair of days later than major edition was released too, but boo's KDE execution appears to be doing the project arrogant given that lots of novel features of mint were reviewed while main came out. Either way, we are on the April toward discrimination. Just be awake that distro ranking is just analytic of how interesting a distribution is eventually, not essentially an install base.

Here I also want to say something regarding Linux mint Distro ranking. In spite of the actuality I am now back in second on the hypsometer that is Ubuntu released one more alpha, the ranking detained long sufficient to thrust us into next on the 30 day version. It would be pleasant to keep on this tendency, assembly it into a solid second in the default 6 month edition.

The trouble I have with Distro is it essentially is surveying distro hoppers. One discerns rank rises any time any distro releases a novel version. The additional novel editions a distro release the upper the page ranking. I sincerely would not place too much dependence on its rankings as they are not methodically based by any extend of the mind's eye. Nonetheless, it is fine to observe Mint in the top 10.

The rankings should all the time be in use with a pinch of salt. I would not go so far as to say it surveys distro hoppers, but it does just measure recognition and curiosity, rather than setup base for instance. Long phrase tendency are too more helpful, observe I label the 7 day edition as a hypsometer, but the clear dominance of Ubuntu in the long term rankings is an obvious sign of its fame. Likewise, mint is constantly in the top 5, as are SuSE and fedora and so on. It is just figures, but they can be helpful occasionally.
