Please.
Too popular is a major bummer in Linux.
So nobody tell anybody else anymore, OK?
Let's keep it a secret so we can keep getting quick-and-easy help.

Interesting ... Also 6 of the top 8 don't use systemd by default:
Code: Select all
Distro systemd
------ -------
Slackware no
Arch yes
Gentoo no/yes
MX no/yes
Ubuntu yes
antiX no
Void no
Devuan no
Gentoo and MX support systemd but it is not the default.

6 of the top 8
or, depending how ya slice it
6 of the top 10
6 of the top 15
7 of the top 28 displayed on that page, but who's counting?
It was interesting for me to sort by NUMBER of user reviews, disregard the rating value, and notice which distros have elicited the greatest number of reviews.

The numbers do not lie. I think that in two months or before we will be number ONE in EVERYTHING.

Amigo I love your enthusiasm, but I'm not sure that's what MX/antiX devs dream of every night
Should be an interesting topic about devs (not sure it has been done before) : who are you and why did you embark on such a journey

Garbage distro that runs obsolete software only. Do not recommend.
Hey, at least don't make up stuff in the reviews, OK, fanbois? MX isn't 100% perfect, we acknowledge that, and you could attack us on those points. And why don't you put that effort into helping your own favorite distro get better instead of trying to tear down another? Oh, right, you don't have any talent.

From the Distrowatch FAQ, 'When possible, be specific. "This distro is garbage" is not helpful.' Voting on Distrowatch is weird. If you vote on a review, then you are locked out from voting on any other.

It is the same troll as below (and he seems to appear every 1-2 weeks or so, to always be in the view of the last 3-4 reviews which can be seen without clicking "show all reviews"

Judging by use of "Do not recommend" in both posts (I mean different guys would use 'I'd not' or "I don't" or "I won't"...)

It reminded me of a professor in the faculty who always encouraged me to research with this phrase:
"Only the tree that bears fruit throws stones at it."
If MX was not so good, they would not consider it to criticize it.
