I know that "maslinux.es" never liked MX; they are from Manjaro but this is the last straw!

I couldn't find a place to put this notice, if this isn't the place please move it.
For Dedoimedo, the best distribution of the year 2019, is again MX Linux 18 Continuum!

Just took another look at the reviews, and so far they've loved the KDE release. :number1:

I noticed another trend--most of the reviews have been 10's, except if somebody didn't like the interface, couldn't get it to work on their quirky machine, didn't preserve the home folder properly, and/or is just a bitter troll--then they rate it as low as they can, 1. The middle ground is quite sparsely inhabited.

When you look at number (count) of reviews on there, the amazing thing is the rating is still that high.
I think we have one of the highest count of reviews on there too.

The trollish reviews tend to not get many "yes, this review helped me" votes. Too bad DW doesn't weight each review by the number of those that each gets.

It is noteworthy that the vast majority of distributions have been trending downward for several days, even with recent versions. I don't trust the statistics of DistroWatch.

That's just based on click-throughs from DistroWatch to the distro's websites. It doesn't really mean that much in terms of distro popularity.
