I can't believe opensuse is in 1st place and fedora in second. I have tried both and they absolutely suck. Maybe it's because not many people have voted yet.

I'll be happy if we beat Other, that damn distro is good for nothing.

Come on, people: MX has few votes so far: can't we get it to the top?

Yes, Other is amazing. Great distro!
Imagine If someone actually makes a 'other OS' distro, they can claim to be high on many votes from the internet!

[sarcasm] I'm sure someone can provide a script that will save many human interactions. Such excellent polling certainly will benefit from automated responses. [/sarcasm]
Normally I just hang up the phone on pollsters...

Voted. In Fedora's case, even their new installer beta still has the lame you have to click it on to choose the hard drive (even when there is only one).
Don't they listen to their users???

As has been noted explicitly by some and not so explicitly (Adrian et al) this kind of thing IMO is somewhat of a nonsense. It makes little sense for the fans of one distro or another to say mine is best when the real test is you knowing yourself whether the distro you use is indeed the best for you. As has been alluded to on the forum regarding Distrowatch rankings, in the end it doesn't really count for much. MX will survive quite nicely I'm sure without devotees voicing their opinion in such polls. Again, my opinion only.

Of course.. they already stated that:
Our admittedly unscientific poll is basically a fun way to add a little good natured competition between the distros and their users ...

Something smells fishy here
PopOS only received 27 votes for the first round
round 1.png
but somehow is in first place with 279 votes for the second round. (MX ended the first round with 125 votes)

I consider surveys to be on about the same level as horoscopes. It can be fun, but you don't spend much time on it.
Or you could take a 20-sided dice from a fantasy board game and roll the "winner".
Or just pick your nose with your finger, probably makes more sense.

Polls like this aren't qualitative. They're about which distro's forum can rally the most potential voters.

Good catch. That proves that neither one of those polls have any validity.

600 more votes have been tallied since
@Amiga-MX's screenshot and close to 1200 more votes over the first round. This poll is about as useful as the polls the media publish.

We will never beat the bots, but we could get to be top of the genuine distro votes.

Perhaps they are using SmartMatic, like in the Spanish and Venezuela elections.
Seems that the first round, is to see what is the tendency. Then, in the second round they cook the "others" vote adding them to the bigOS, allegedly ?
