That contest was obviously rigged.

The results from last year prove, once again, that "choice!" isn't 
nearly as important to Linux users as shitv and RonG and others claim it is.

http://fossforce.com/2015/03/poll-results-ubuntu-mint-in-near-tie/


Distro 	Votes

Ubuntu 	473
Linux Mint 	462
openSUSE 	417
Arch 	276
Debian 	192
Fedora 	190

Top 6 distros got 82% of the votes

Manjaro 	67
CentOS 	50
*PCLinuxOS 	49
*Gentoo 	36

Top 10 distros got 90% of the votes.

This is the 4th survey I've seen with very similar results.




Assuming 40 million desktop Linux users, these are the total user counts 
by distro (based on the voting proportions):


Ubuntu	7,678,571
Linux Mint	7,500,000
openSUSE	6,769,481
Arch	4,480,519
Debian	3,116,883
Fedora	3,084,416

Manjaro	1,087,662
CentOS	811,688
*PCLinuxOS	795,455
*Gentoo	584,416

*Slackware	568,182
Mageia	503,247
*Kubuntu	487,013
elementary	470,779
Antergos	389,610

Xubuntu	357,143
Bodhi Linux	211,039
Lubuntu	194,805

Kali Linux	81,169
Linux Lite	81,169
Netrunner	81,169
CrunchBang	64,935
Korora	64,935

Chakra	48,701
LMDE	48,701
MX Linux	48,701
Puppy Linux	48,701
Solydx(k)	48,701

Deepin	32,468
Funtoo Linux	32,468
KaOS	32,468
LXLE	32,468
NixOS	32,468
OpenMandriva	32,468
Sabayon	32,468

Tiny Core Linux	32,468
Void Linux	32,468

Total 40,000,000

Us, at work.  It is one of the "supported" distros at work.
SuSE and RedHat itself are the others.

It's a pain in the ass, too.  First, it doesn't have nearly the
package range and configuration conveniences of Debian.  Second,
IT assumes that any Linux workstation is a server, and they
force you to install an anti-virus program, to protect the precious
Windoze boxes they think will be getting files forwarded through
your "server".  

The AV is a royal pain in the ass.  If you use a GUI file explorer
on GNOME, it will take minutes to load your Download directory
and your fan revs up due to the overhead of the file scanner.
(Console "ls"?  No problem. Luckily, that's my preferred way to work
with files.)

I've had it produce (and slowly) corrupt data ISO files.

I've had it induce freeze-ups in my Windows VirtualBox-hosted
machines.

I've had it strip out the content of *XML* files transferred from
a Windows machine.

It's crazy stuff, and indicates just what an impact Windoze vulnerabilities
have on reliability and performance.

Luckily, unlike with Windows, IT also lets the Linux user be the
administrator of his computer, and one can temporarily disable that
fucking crapware in order to DO ONE'S JOB.

What's the difference?  Linux is Linux.  Red Hat has just set up a business
model catering to corporate users, providing a point of contact for "official
support."  You too can join that club for a price.  In fact, there are
even two levels of "self-support" -- one at $49 and one at $179.  Sounds
like a killer deal to me.  I can't fathom why RHEL doesn't show up on this
bogus survey.

Because it is based on distrowatch rankings. RHEL takes 43. place.
There is `other` option which allows to choose any other distro and
specify name.
Second round will include top 20 distros from first round, giving RHEL
chance to show up if enough users vote...

I haven't used Redhat in years. How outdated is it in comparison to
Fedora? I can't imagine that Redhat uses the latest code.

I have no idea about Fedora.  I stick with stable distributions.
I don't care a whit for cutting edge stuff.  My last RHEL was 3.0.
Here's what a CentOS 7 build from last year looks like, which should
give you an idea of recent Red Hat:

I believe there was another release in December.  This one's from last
Spring.

They don't use the bleeding edge code.  They're after reliability and 
use.  Still isn't reliable enough tho.

Hmmmm, six choices are popular!  The rest of the *numerous* choices, not
as popular!  Extree extree read all about it!

Whoa.  Sounds a bit like that redneck bigot's claim that one
Windows "super-computer" ranked at #50 or so left 450 Linux
setups "in the dust".

And this guy is a programmer?

His application of "logic" should embarrass even that other paragon of
twisted logic, "Ezekiel".

Rather.

Although it makes a decent workstation, as well.  Certainly better
than using any "edition" of Windows.

The results prove that we are 100% correct.

At least "Ezekiel" doesn't think, or won't admit, that you're a liar
and a dumbshit.

Indeed.  It's beyond embarrassing.

The Ezekreep hypocrite's ridicule of bad thinking stops where his
shitty pals start.

Buzz off, Turdv, as you aren't in that category.
Your category is sanitary engineer.

Not just "six choices", Creepy, but /the same six choices/, year after year:

Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, Debian, Arch, openSUSE

Like shitv said: "the top distros have barely changed in YEARS."



> The rest of the *numerous* choices, not
> as popular!  Extree extree read all about it!


The rest of the *ridiculous" choices, not as popular.  There are around 
160 desktop distros listed in distrowatch.  It's beyond moronic.

Yes it did.  It was #58 at the time.  It debuted on the list at #11, I 
believe.



> And this guy is a programmer?

Yes.  And a software developer, and a DBA.  And better than you at all 
those disciplines.

Still waiting for you to respond to my Python challenge, you spineless 
'Little Beaver' wimp.

Another good poster that makes mincemeat of you pro-Linux idiots.

That's not what they say at your office, Creepy.  They insist on 
Windows, just like your clients and your family, and the families of 
most cola "advocates".

I did a couple of years ago.  It worked well, but then so does windows.
No real advantage really.
