You DO know how long we've been around? If you are getting phased by this then this is not your distro. Quit being so dramatic, please.

Yes, I saw that too.rasat wrote: Thu Jul 04, 2019 8:39 am Since MX became #1, this is second time its downward. When this happen, all top distros are down. Something to do with the hit ranking.

One of my favorite things about Debian/MX is that it's a community supported distro. No corporate or investor overlords to make decisions for or about the OS.Adrian wrote: Wed Jul 03, 2019 4:26 pm I'm not surprised that this happened to Ubuntu, they went all corporate without taking care of their community.

I agree and that is also an important argument against systemd. Beware of stuff that can't be understood, tweaked and compiled by "the little man".KBD wrote: Thu Jul 04, 2019 12:01 pmOne of my favorite things about Debian/MX is that it's a community supported distro.

I'm perfectly aware that much of desktop Linux was built by corporations, but I also think these same corporations have been clear about that they intend to take desktop Linux to hell in a handbasket. Look at the latest monthly report from Linux Mint where Clem is worried about Snaps taking over.

The "We're #1!" boasting is mostly a turn-off for me. A high ranking at DistroWatch may be nice for exposure, but I don't (and can't) take it too seriously. I don't recall a time when the #1 ranked distro at DW was the best fit for me, and some of the ones I've enjoyed the most have never came close to a high ranking at that site. MX was an excellent distro long before it ever reached #1. If/when it falls from #1, so what?
