According to the distowatch annual ranking of distribution popularity, Linux Mint is the most popular Linux distribution of all, a position he also got last year.
Linux Mint is still the most used distribution, something that has a lot of merit since this year 2016 has not been easy for them. We remember that Linux Mint suffered an attack on its website, a very hard blow from which they have been known to recover quickly.
Second follows Debian, one of the most solid and oldest distributions of all and that maintains a large community of users especially on the topic of servers. In third place we find Ubuntu, a distribution that although at first glance seems the most famous, it has not managed to get past the third position.
In fourth place we have OpenSuse,the operating system for individuals of the SUSE company and in fifth place we have the Fedora operating system, which remains in the fifth position despite having lost a follower this year.
In sixth place we have Manjaro, a distribution that is more or less stable compared to last year. In seventh place we have CentOS, in eighth place the Mageia project and in ninth place we have Arch Linux, which continues to grow in popularity.
Finally we have in tenth place Zorin OS, closely followed by Elementary OS, which has grown a lot this last year. To finish the list we have less popular distributions such as Android-x86, PCLinuxOS, Deeping or Puppy Linux. In short, the list of the best has remained like this.
- Linux Mint.
- debian
- Ubuntu
- OpenSUSE.
- fedora
- Manjaro.
- CentOS
- Magic.
- ArchLinux.
- ZorinOS.
- Basic OS.
Without a doubt the big winners of the year are Linux Mint, Arch Linux and Elementary OS, since Linux Mint se has managed to maintain despite his problems and the other two continue to gain adherents.
