What is happening to Linux?
- mdwrigh2 15y agoI think the first comment in the article hit the nail on the head -- DistroWatch is just becoming less popular.
- dknight 15y agoI can't figure out the reason for this though I do not refute the statement.
- phaus 15y agoEven if distrowatch was considered to be an accurate measure of the popularity of specific distributions, it would still be impossible to tell anything from a single visit. I visited distrowatch sometime last week and many of the top 25 distributions were going up in popularity.
- dknight 15y agoYeah, even I keep looking at distrowatch from time to time and I agree that some time ago many distros were showing growing popularity. However all the distributions going down in popularity at the same time surprised me.
- Intermediate 15y agoThough DistroWatch is not a good indicator of this, unfortunately it still seems like Linux is loosing it's popularity. Check out google trends http://www.google.ca/trends/?q=linux&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all http://www.google.ca/trends/?q=linux&ctab=0&geo=all&...
