>Yet, PopOS is now one of the most popular and most recommended distros out there.

among enthusiasts on the internet possibly, but in terms of real world usage it is ubuntu/debian/centos etc.. followed by a long list of nothing.

there's always a new distro for tinkerers but five years later you never hear of it again, and when you invest into building an entire Desktop Environment that's supposed to compete with Gnome or KDE you're probably looking at that timescale before it's even competitive.

It's a gaming survey with mostly reddit users, so may be skewed.

ubu/debian/centos: do you mean desktop, or are you adding in servers?

those distos have undeniably won the server market.

But they also don't really care about the desktop market as a result.
