I think we will go over the top Saturday (US timezones) or Sunday at the latest.
Few days longer. Today Manjaro tried to run with additional hits. :)

Hi, I think popularity matters because the more popular an OS, the more people get involved and help find or fix security and stability issues. I wouldn’t use a relative unknown version of linux, and I wouldn’t use MX or Antix, if it weren’t an active community of developers and users like runwiththedolphin etc. running the project in a professional way (it shows by the quality of their work). Anyway, I have installed mx as my only OS in my laptop and my second desktop without any issues. I run Antix on a virtual machine in my main desktop because I need Windows 10 in it for visual studio and few other programs but have tested with the usb stick booting and MX works fine there too.

+1
Example when Arch Linux with its newness as rolling-release + AUR, moved from rank hit #34 to #12 within 1 year, experienced and skill-full users started to join. Without these additional resources it would have been difficult to manage.
The race is "slowly" coming to its end... 20 -->#1 :)

I was just there and saw that. MX is far ahead on the 3 month average.

My last prediction was wildly off but now I predict the big day will be tomorrow (in US timezones).

That's OK, by the time we get on top for the 12 month we'll deserve it.

Just remember kids... what goes up, must come down. I can remember when Ubuntu was on top... Mint... Manjaro... all of them have had their fun. I'm not sure any of the ratings hype really makes a huge difference. The product and the people are what really count. IMHO.
