      It’s the most popular on Distrowatch but definitely not in real life

        Disteowatch is an unreliable source since it’s basically just a giant tracker for its own sites.

      Distrowatch only tracks the number of hits that distros website gets. Which is a really stupid way of ranking popularity. The most common distro would be Ubuntu (by far).

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.
