MX Linux. It’s a distro I know solely from the fact mentioned in OP. I’ve never heard anyone mention they use it, outside of this exact sort of conversation where one or two pop up.
yeah it’s weird. I know of MX Linux simply because of the distrowatch thing but I never hear of anyone actually use it UNTIL posts like this come up about MX Linux on distrowatch and then the comments will be “I’ve used MX Linux for years and I love it, it’s awesome” annnnnnd then never a peep until the next post about distrowatch and mx linux comes up.
On Mastodon my feed is pretty much tailored to strictly linux stuff from everywhere and again, never ever see a mention of MX Linux until someone posts about distrowatch.it’s so odd.
One of these days i’ll get around to actually trying it.
hah that’s my point and that’s why I find it weird. People are very opinionated about what distros they use but you never hear about MX Linux users until a post about Distrowatch pops up. maybe it is that great that users don’t feel the need to brag about it.
But the thing is, while DistroWatch ranking isn’t an actual popularity ranking, it might give some indication that the distro has a lot of interest in it. But you almost never hear about it. It’s a strange situation.
I think nowadays it’s at the top of DistroWatch page hits because people check it out because it is at #1, perpetuating the situation.

Maybe it’s so great that the users are content enough to not brag about it unprompted? Which would be very strange for Linux

The hipster subculture never left Linux.
Now I need to distro hop so everyone knows how avant-garde I am.

I saw it in the wild at a university computer lab once.
