Distrowatch

Ok its been years since I was last on Distrowatch, but I am surprised today that the top distro on it is called MX Linux, which I have never heard of.

So what is so good about it?

How the times have changed.

@nosherwan I have no idea where DistroWatch gets its numbers from, but it seems extremely biased. Like, there's no way MX is even in the top ten most popular distros

It could be as simple as the website just displaying which distro most people click on, on DistroWatch. So any distro that randomly gets to the top will have a strong tendency to stay there?

I'm using on and tried to rollback it to previous remaster. However, I had updated the kernel to newer version before.
In effect, the OS "didn't finish up booting", or, rather threw (as I saw after Alt-F1) an (uncritical) error about new kernel unavailable and booted up to CLI. To recover from this, I used the same live-kernel-updater, but rolled back the kernel version instead of updating. This recovered the system.

This should be helpful also for users as both distros share their LiveUSB utilities.

"Middleweight champ MX Linux 23 delivers knockout punch...
Debian 12-based version should be your first choice for a non-systemd distro"
