Yes, I know that the ranking is not a good metric of real world use.

Just posting this because MX Linux has been in the number one spot for a long time (2 years perhaps?) and it’s surprising to see some other distro on the top of their site.

    I really like mint although i never used it again.
    Pros using mint :

    • It’s easy to learn
    • It’s stable
    • It’s Windows XP like
    • Not recourse hogging like KDE
    • Easy to customize

    Cons using mint :

    • It’s debian based
    • uniquethrowagay

      KDE has been hogging no resources for ages now, it’s really snappy even on not so powerful machines!

      Debian based is alright, I’m more against it for being based on Ubuntu. Also con: apt
