    Wasn’t there a post earlier detailing country wide metrics? I think India had quite a lot in there with nearly 15% market share in the country. I wonder what is the most used distro for desktop users.

    Since Distrowatch only tracks clicks for that page, it creates a positive feedback loop for MX Linux(which was top of the list last time I saw), I think. Hardly I have ran into anyone online who uses that. Meanwhile, I know dozens of people IRL who almost correlate Ubuntu with coding and have it installed but this is purely anecdotal.

      Most likely Ubuntu. We use Ubuntu at work because it’s the most commonly supported Linux platform for many development tools

        The corpo I work for also uses Ubuntu on the developer workstations. Everyone I know in real life who uses Linux uses Ubuntu.

        No wonder. Ubuntu was also my first nix distro though I later moved to it’s ‘parent’ Debian and dual booted it back in the day with Cent OS before the latter was discontinued.
