Please don’t get me wrong, this is not meant to be rude slander. MX Linux is not a bad Distro at all (even tho I’ve always opted for Debian instead) and peops are free to use what suits them best.

But compared to other Distros (like Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian or Mint) there doesn’t seem to be much excitement about it. I hardly see articles about MX and I have barely seen people outing themselves as MX users which makes me wonder:

Are MX users just low key quiet, am I escaping their presence or is there a different reason for MX’ high HPD score?

Btw: feel free to take a shot every time I write MX :p

    No, people go on the distrowatch website, see mx linux at the top and wonder what it is because it seems to be popular but they’ve never heard of it, so they click on it, which boosts the ranking and makes it remain at the top. A website can’t change your browser’s start page.
