Well, mix up all the Ubuntu flavors in the same bowl and then weigh it.

    If you go that way, you also gotta count ubuntu and all its derivatives towards debian.

    But if you look at the plot you can see the only ubuntu based ones are mint, ubuntu and pop which add up to 20.6% and thats still less than cachy. So unless you add the 2.7% of debian to make a "debian based" cluster, cachy still wins with 21.1%

    All this to say, cachyos is fucking boomin.

    Isn’t Cachy Arch based? Same as Manjaro. So, technically, Arch has won, I assume.

    Fair point yeah. So its all just Arch, Fedora and Debian in the end.

    … but in the end, it doesn’t even matter! 🎶

    Since it’s all Linux. Hopefully all these guys have great experience, and won’t leave the system. The more market share it has, the better for everyone.

    There are others still, like Slackware and SUSE.

    Well not in this plot. They just arent relevant for gaming by the looks of it.

    My apologies for inserting this "akshually ☝️", but I'm almost 100% sure that the distro that just didn't make the cut -the one represented in green, right under Manjaro- is openSUSE. It's possible to deduce this from an earlier report of Boiling Steam and its respective graph.

    But, perhaps unsurprisingly, I don't ever recall seeing Slackware in any of these.

    FWIW, similarly, we can deduce the grey one right below openSUSE to be Gentoo from this report and its respective graph. And, finally, the blue one below Gentoo to be Garuda from the respective graph of this report.

    The last distro I was able to identify is Solus. Unfortunately, it's only relevant in the very beginning. It used to be the best performing grey one. See this report and its respective graph.
