Yes, I know that the ranking is not a good metric of real world use.
Just posting this because MX Linux has been in the number one spot for a long time (2 years perhaps?) and it's surprising to see some other distro on the top of their site.

It's funny and awesome that the two top distro are Ubuntu remixes that remove snap.
Edit: I'm wrong. MX uses Debian as upstream, not Ubuntu, which removes any snap related tech from the picture entirely.
What? MX Linux is a Debian remix in the style of antiX I thought?
Shoot, you're right. I thought MX used Ubuntu as upstream but it uses Debian.
IMO Ubuntu without Snap, but with a default Gnome or KDE (and a visual DE selector screen during installation) would be absolutely perfect.
