Just testing it out, I searched "linux", and results are:

unix.stackexchange.com

Wikipedia article

archlinux.org

ubuntu.com

linux.com (finally)

It seems to favor online exposure over relevance a bit too much IMO.

For example Ubuntu is more popular than Arch, but Arch users visit their distro's website much more frequently.

And few Linux users ever visit linux.com.

This is a kind of query you'd never use in real life though. What is even your expectation when you search "Linux"? If there isn't a specific one, it's not a good test.

Good point. Now try "Linux download", and the first result is https://www.opera.com/download. While DuckDuckGo gives you https://www.linux.org/pages/download/

My point still stands (even more).

I will keep using it and comparing it with DuckDuckGo! It's kinda fun!
