The options in the poll were Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, OpenMandriva, Tails, Tanglu, or other.
It is time now to announce the results.
The poll was open for 2 weeks. 258 results were received.
As you can imagine with an "Other" option, there was a variety of answers. However, top 10 of responses looks like this:
| Distribution | Votes |
| Ubuntu | 78 |
| Kubuntu | 37 |
| Xubuntu | 23 |
| Linux Mint | 19 |
| Lubuntu | 15 |
| Tanglu | 15 |
| Debian | 8 |
| Tails | 7 |
| Arch linux | 6 |
| OpenMandriva | 6 |

And finally, I'd like to mention some interesting submissions from the "Other" category:
- Anything but Ubuntu
- MX-14
- Nazi-OS
- LXQT
- Mageia (the latest release happened only a month ago!)
- Pear OS 8 (discontinued distribution)
NaziOS? How bizarre.
ReplyDeleteI received an email yesterday stating that there is a new release of Puppy Arcade. That is one I will definitely be trying out.
Yes, I am a bit scared of this name too...
DeleteLOL, just when I thought I had heard it all when it came to distro names, along comes NaziOS. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe results of this poll are really not surprising. I hate to say this, but it seems now days *buntu is your best hope for getting the maximum Linux experience. The real distro war days seem to be gone. And honestly, I miss it. I miss not being able to decide if I liked distro a, b, c, or d better than the others. But at the same time, it's kind of a relief to not be distro hopping any more and to have one standard distribution I can recommend for anyone new to Linux.
Jonquil, there are still lots of people who wait for non-Ubuntu based distros. :)
ReplyDeleteLike Arch Linux (in fact, Antergos) which helped me stopped recurrently installing distros to get latest features.
