MX-Linux at #8

MX-Linux is at the #8 spot. https://distrowatch.com/index.php?dataspan=26
I am command line illiterate. :confused: I copy & paste to the terminal. Liars, Wiseguys, Trolls, and those without manners will be added to my ignore list. :mad:

It's nice that word is getting out! I have bragging like crazy about MX-17 on my blog and on the Diaspora social network. Just talking it up gets alot of people interested in checking it out, especially if they're not satisfied with their current OS.

But of course the numbers on Distrowatch don't reflect anything but clicks on articles about a distro; not the number of users. I wonder if people make too much of Distrowatch's "rankings."

In two weeks MX Linux will be #7..... soon becomes among the 5 top distros. For the users its inspiring, but for devs there will be a pressure/stress to maintain the expected quality. I experienced this in Arch Linux when suddenly moved from #23 to #11. They managed when users come forward to help. This created the Arch community with different roles and input. One of the great input was the wiki documentation by the users.

Its great seeing MX Linux development.

Yes indeed, the progress is wonderful. I just hope that the success of MX and the ever increasing workload does not overwhelm our very keen, but small, group of developers.

We've seen and appreciate your blog, and have a couple of entries from it on our reviews page. Thanks.

On the DW rankings: you're right, but it's the only quantitative measure out there, so carries some information about interest at least. Of much greater significance IMO is the #1 ranking by users on DW.
Production: 5.10, MX-23 Xfce, AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core, GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2, 16 GB, SSD 120 GB, Data 1TB
Personal: Lenovo X1 Carbon with MX-23 Fluxbox and Windows 10
Other: Raspberry Pi 5 with MX-23 Xfce Raspberry Pi Respin

All good points noted. Hopefully additional developers will join the MX team to help as it becomes more popular helping with the work load.
