Distrowatch has become a key website for discovering and discussing Linux distributions since its inception in 2001. While it aggregates information and keeps users up-to-date, it’s crucial to note that its rankings are based on page hits and not on the actual usage statistics of these distributions. As the Linux community has expanded from its underground roots into a more mainstream presence, the initial allure and mystery tied to discovering new distributions have evolved, making Linux more accessible to a wider audience today.
Distrowatch, while useful, is not a measure of global Linux distribution usage but rather reflects the popularity of its webpage hits.
The mystery surrounding early Linux distributions has largely diminished as the community has grown and become more accessible over time.
