From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the first post/reply in the wild about someone who uses MX Linux. I'm searching you guys for years, even though this distribution was on the top of Distrowatch for years.
I tried MX for a while. It was alright but not the distro for me beyond that short period of time. I'm glad it exists but a bit mystified at how it ended up topping the charts.
Distrowatch just lists the most popular pages that got the most clicks on Distrowatch itself. We (and I mean random few people on internet and YouTube and elsewhere) have theories it could be a few users or a bot who wants to see the distribution on top, doing the clicks. Or its legit clicks off course. In example if a distribution have a bad documentation or website, or its not that well known and people want learn more about it with detailed information, I mean Distrowatch is not a bad place to start looking.
I saw someone else recently.
My guess is that AI was convinced by Distrowatch fuckery that it was #1, it recommended it to people, and then it actually started getting used by real people
Best distro ever, stable, Xfce4
