Last week, I posted a link to DesktopLinux.com and their quick survey. It didn’t take long for the results to roll in.
Still, when all is said and done, we do think that our survey does say some interesting things about the current state of desktop Linux. So, without further ado, here’s what we found.
The most popular desktop of Linux today is… well, most of you can already guess without seeing the scores: Ubuntu. Ubuntu, with 29.2 percent of the vote, has been the hottest community Linux since early 2005. While this Linux has had its problems lately, such as the update fiasco on August 21st and 22nd, users continue to download, install, and love it.
The runners-up are Debian, openSUSE and then Gentoo for fourth place. You can see the rest of the results here but they are not in graph format so you will actually have to read.
