10 Most Used Linux Distributions of All Time
[109]Gabriel CánepaLast Updated: March 7, 2024 Read Time: 5 minsCategories
[110]Linux Distros [111]58 Comments
In this article, we will review the 10 most used Linux distributions based on the
huge availability of software, ease of installation and use, and community
support on web forums.
That said, here's the list of the top 10 distributions of all time, in descending
order.
10. Arch Linux
[112]Arch Linux stands out in the Linux ecosystem because it is not based on any
other distribution and yet it is well-known and extensively used by the
community.
Traditionally, Arch is not recommended for new users mostly because [113]the
installation process is a bit complicated in that it will require a great deal of
intervention on the user's part.
[ You might also like: [114]10 Best Arch Linux Based User Friendly Distributions
]
This requires a certain degree of knowledge [115]about partitions, [116]LVM, and
Linux in general to have a successful installation. The good news is that this is
precisely what gives the user the freedom to customize the system to his or her
taste.
Arch Linux Arch Linux
9. RHEL
[117]RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) is best known and most used as a
[118]distribution for Linux servers, its desktop version is not as popular but
continues to improve its visual appearance year after year.
RHEL has become a go-to choice for businesses and organizations due to its stable
and well-supported environment, making it suitable for a wide range of
applications.
RHEL's success is attributed to its robust features, timely updates, and
comprehensive support from Red Hat, the company behind its development.
As a result, many enterprises rely on RHEL to power their servers and
infrastructure, ensuring smooth and efficient operations. With a user-friendly
interface and a focus on stability, RHEL continues to be a trusted and widely
used Linux distribution in the ever-evolving landscape of open-source operating
systems.
RHEL 9 Desktop RHEL 9 Desktop
8. Elementary
Another Linux distribution aimed at Microsoft and Apple users, [119]Elementary
(or more appropriately Elementary OS), is also [120]based on Ubuntu.
It was first made available in 2011 and is currently on its seventh stable
release (codename "Horus", which was released last year) and is based on Ubuntu
22.04.
On a personal note, this is one of the [121]best-looking desktop distributions
I've ever seen. Elementary's well-polished visual appearance is certainly one of
its distinguishing features.
Elementary Linux Elementary Linux
7. Zorin
After making it to the list of [122]top Linux distributions, we can say that
[123]Zorin rose from the ashes this year.
This [124]Ubuntu-based distribution was born and is currently maintained in
Ireland. In order to appeal to Windows users, it has a Windows-like GUI and many
programs similar to those found in Windows.
The main goal of this distribution is to provide a free operating system similar
to Windows while allowing Windows users to enjoy Linux without issues. Zorin 17
was released last year.
ZorinOS ZorinOS
6. Fedora
[125]Fedora is built and maintained by the Fedora Project (and sponsored by Red
Hat, Inc.).
The most distinguishing characteristic of Fedora is that it's always in the lead
of integrating new package versions and technologies into the distribution.
In other words, if you want the latest and [126]greatest FOSS software, Fedora is
one of the first places where you should look.
Fedora Gnome Desktop Fedora Gnome Desktop
5. Manjaro
[127]Manjaro, an Arch Linux-based distribution experienced remarkable growth
during 2016. Without a doubt, by leveraging Arch Linux's robustness and its
features, the maintainers of Manjaro have been able to consistently ensure a
pleasant experience both for new and experienced Linux users.
If you don't remember anything else about Manjaro, keep in mind that it comes
with preinstalled desktop environments, graphical applications (including a
software center), and multimedia codecs to play audio and videos.
Manjaro Linux Manjaro Linux
4. openSUSE
Along with Ubuntu, [128]OpenSUSE is one of the cost-free alternatives to the
enterprise king (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). On top of that, OpenSUSE is (as per
its developers) the operating system of choice for both new users and geeks alike
(you may agree or not, but that's what they say).
On top of all that, the renowned and award-winning SUSE Linux Enterprise products
are based on OpenSUSE. A new version of openSUSE Leap 15.5 was released last
year.
OpenSuse Linux OpenSuse Linux
3. Ubuntu
For those individuals and companies who require professional support from a
distribution creator, [129]Ubuntu stands out. Although professional help is
available under a support contract, Ubuntu has a large user base and the
community support is outstanding as well.
In addition, Ubuntu is available both in desktop and server editions and is based
on Debian, it is also a rock-solid operating system. The Long-Term Support (LTS)
editions have guaranteed support for 5 years after their release date.
In addition, you'll see on this list that [130]several desktop distributions are
based on Ubuntu - and that is another reason for its popularity.
Ubuntu Linux Ubuntu Linux
2. Debian
With more than 30 years in the Linux ecosystem, [131]Debian stands out for its
robustness, stability, and well-oiled release cycle. In addition, it is the
distribution with the largest number of available packages and one of the top
choices for servers.
The current stable release (version 12.5, codename bookworm) will be replaced by
Debian 13 (codename trixie) around mid-2025. There are no signs of Debian
reverting back to the old SysVinit as the default system and process manager.
Debian Linux Debian Linux
1. Linux Mint
[132]Linux Mint is a stable, robust, and elegant Ubuntu-based distribution. One
of the reasons behind its popularity is the fact that up until version 20.x it
included out of the box a lot of useful software (such as multimedia codecs).
However, this ended with version 21, leaving it up to the users to install those
packages after the operating system is up and running. To make it clear - it's
not that Linux Mint has discontinued support for multimedia codecs and other
software it shipped with up until not too long ago.
The reason behind this decision is simple: shipping codecs did not significantly
improve the distribution and it meant a great deal of work on the developers'
side.
It is precise because of this that Linux Mint often is the preferred distribution
of both new and experienced users - a complete operating system ready for use
after installation.

Summary
In this article, we have shared a brief description of the top 10 Linux
distributions of all time. Whether you are new to Linux and trying to decide
which distro you'll use to start your journey, or are a well-seasoned user
wanting to explore new options, we hope this guide will allow you to make an
informed decision.

"10 Most Used Linux Distributions of All Time"
Based on what methodology? One writer's favorites?
IF this list is of "Most used distros of ALL time" then there are a distros
that are missing and a distros that should not be on this list. OTOH, if this
is the usual haphazard list of author's favorites, the it is mis-titled.
Arch, for one, should not be on this list because, since its first release,
it has rarely been in the Top 50 of DistroWatch Page Hit Rankings, let alone
in the Top 10.
To all those posters who are questioning "Why MY favorite distro has not been
included in this list", read them the title ".... of ALL time". That means
going back to when the first Linux distro was released some 30 years ago. I'm
sure that Kubuntu, Lubuntu, PCLinuxOS, etc are fine distros but they have not
been around long enough to qualify for this list.
BTW - DistroWatch staff has repeatedly stated that their Page Hit Rankings
have ABSOLUTELY NO statistical value. The page hit totals are posted for
their entertainment value

@dragonmouth,
Hello,
I appreciate your critical perspective on the article titled "10 Most
Used Linux Distributions of All Time". Your observation about the
methodology is valid. It's crucial to clarify whether the list is based
on objective criteria, such as usage statistics, or if it reflects the
personal preferences of the author.
The inclusion of Arch Linux is questioned based on DistroWatch Page Hit
Rankings, and you've rightly pointed out the potential discrepancy.
Additionally, your reminder about the historical context of Linux
distributions is essential for a comprehensive understanding.
Your comment regarding newer distributions like Kubuntu, Lubuntu, and
PCLinuxOS is also noteworthy, emphasizing the need for a clear
definition of the timeframe for the term "of ALL time".
Thank you for highlighting the limitations of using DistroWatch Page Hit
Rankings and providing valuable context to the discussion

You wouldn't believe the number of Distro's I have downloaded,
tried to get to work, or installed to a USB drive only to decide
they are not for me. I am sure I am not alone in that. Those all
count on the DistroWatch hit page, but were never used.
There are also Distros going back to the old days, like Ubuntu
where the CD came in a Tech magazine, or like my first Linux
Distro, Xandros, you had to send for the CD. Some still buy a USB
Drive with the Distro installed. So one download could have
hundreds of USB's to install and use the Distro.
Therefore it is almost impossible to say which ones are the
favorites, Better to say the most downloaded!

@James,
I totally get it! Trying out different distros is part of the
Linux journey for many of us. It's all about finding the right
fit. And you're right, the number of downloads doesn't always
reflect actual usage.
It's a diverse community with varied preferences!

1) It's paintfull that you require people to scroll way down to the bottom
just to add a comment!
2) Fedora isn't about "it's always in the lead of integrating new package
versions and technologies", that goes to all rolling distributions. Fedora
sits on my laptop because they are the most professional FOSS Linux distro
out there with amazing organisation and decision making throughout. To be
effectively backed by Red Hat engineers who bring more innovation to Linux
then any other single entity is what Fedora is all about!
3) You provide absolutely ZERO evidence backing up your claim about these
being the most used distro's. In fact I bet Ubuntu is installed on more
servers around the world then Linux Mint is on home desktops/laptops.
Probably the same for Red Hat too. So your list is utter bollox tbqfh.

@getreal,
Hey there,
I get it; scrolling down for comments can be a bit of a pain. We're
always looking for ways to improve the user experience, so thanks for
sharing your thoughts on that.
Totally agree with your perspective on Fedora. The professionalism and
decision-making at Fedora, not to mention the innovation from Red Hat
engineers, make it stand out. It's more than just keeping up with new
package versions; it's about setting standards in the world of
open-source.
Your skepticism about the most used distros is valid. Concrete evidence
would make the claim more credible. Ubuntu's server dominance and Red
Hat's enterprise presence might indeed outweigh Mint on home systems.
Let's keep the discussion open and explore the facts.
Thanks for engaging in the conversation!

Manjaro takes the lead for me and after that comes Arch and Debian.
Manjaro is such a great OS!
I chose it on my Laptop because I couldn't get Arch to boot at all!
Anyways. I am also having a Steam Deck with SteamOS and I am using Arch on my
Desktop PC.
I made it a challenge not to switch because of all the software available on
Linux that I used on Windows.
The only time I need to switch is when I want to play a MMO like Black Desert
that has a bad Anti-Cheat.

I don't have the numbers at hand but you didn't post metrics either so it's
hard to say if any of the "missing" distros truly hold a place in this list.
That said, I'm thinking since over 30 million Raspberry Pi computers have
been sold as of 2020, at least 90% of them are running Raspbian/Raspberry Pi
OS, that it probably deserves a place in the list.

Metric for Desktop Distro usage are always subject to a bit of error and
guesswork. Would be interested as to how these figures were obtained. Looking
at google searches/trends, or Reddit categories, you will find more Linux
users use Ubuntu than any of the others you have mentioned, and there is
greater support available for Ubuntu.

Most users stand for a certain distro such as Mint, Manjaro, etc., as
they were defending a sports team.
Most gnu/Linux desktop distros are stable, good looking, it is more a
question of personal preference. What sometimes is not as stable as it
should, is the software that runs within the distro and on the top of
it.

I am an Ubuntu user, but I agree that Mint is more user-friendly,

Ubuntu suits my needs better because I am a developer, and Ubuntu is
more productive for development purposes. Mint changes version every six
months, while Ubuntu LTS every two years, which is very important to me.

but when I moved to the first AMD Ryzen processors back when the support
wasn't there in Mint, so moved to Kubuntu and just stuck with it.
I've found it very nice and stable for what I do. Note before Mint, I
was a long-time Red Hat and Fedora user but wanted an LTS -- hence first
move to Mint. Windows free for years now.

Thank you for the article, but it seems like the section on openSUSE is a bit
rushed / incomplete. openSUSE has Leap, which is a stable distribution
closely linked to SLES, and Tumbleweed, which is as a rolling distribution
receives updates on essentially a daily basis.
The article states "No new versions were released during this year", but even
distrowatch.com, which was apparently the source of the list, shows openSUSE
Leap 42.2 was released 2016-11-16.
If you've not spent any time with openSUSE, it's really a great distribution
that's worth checking out more thoroughly.

Why do you always use DistroWatch as source? I do not think this is reliable
source. It gives enough information to select a distribution but to measure
how popular it is... Why not create a poll where people to vote (results will
be primary from your readers but it is something).
For me personally this is not accurate statistic.

We use Distrowatch because it is the best source of information about

would only represent the use among our readers. If you know about any
other source feel free to let us know.

I decided to try Linux in the summer of 2015 when I lost my windows key as a
result of a virus attack. Although a corporate friend provided me with a new
Windows 10 key at no charge, I installed Windows 10 alongside Linux Mint 17.x
with the dual boot method.
Mint was love at first sight. Since then I have booted Windows a couple of
times just to do the updates; I do not remember when it was last time. Now I
am running Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon edition. I think it is the best OS for
desktop & laptop computers.

I use Debian for my private server system and definitely can agree with the

loyal user of Mint/KDE.
Unfortunately - up to now - Mint 18/KDE still seems to be somewhat "wobbly",
so I am forced to stay with 17.3, a rock-solid distribution. I do hope that
the discouraging state of KDE 5.8 in Mint 18 will be taking care of soon...

But what really converted me to being a Manjaro fan is that it is the first
distribution were I have succeeded at doing a complete,
wipe-the-system-partition reinstall without losing *any* of my basic
settings.
Everything was saved in my separate user directory under /home, which I
didn't repartition. Everything else I've used seemed to save settings all
over the place, including directories like /opt . I did save some /etc files
separately but still... And I've never worked with a distribution as stable
as Manjaro.
Plus, when the Manjaro wiki doesn't help solve a problem, the Arch wiki or
forums almost always do. Sorry, Arch fans - having failed twice to get a
workable install of Arch and peering, in my mid-70s, at a looming personal
EOL, Manjaro did the hard work for me. At least I have donated to Arch in
appreciation of the hard work they do (and the support I've gotten from their
wiki when I needed it).

@TJ, I am glad you are having a successful time with using Manjaro. I
personally don't like Manjaro but to each their own. I would like to
address certain things you said in your comment though.
> Everything was saved in my separate user directory under /home
This is the standard action done by all Linux distributions. You do not
have to repartition anything in order for settings to be placed in
/home, that is where they are suppose to go. Manjaro probably
automatically partitions it that way during install so that would
explain the lack of backups approach.
Antergos offers this feature as well during installation. I'm not saying
you should switch but just that Manjaro is not unique in that set up.
> Everything else I've used seemed to save settings all over the place,
including directories like /opt .
All applications that are using the package manager properly place their
settings and everything in /home because that is where it is suppose to
be. However, there are some applications like Google Chrome that
purposefully put everything in /opt but that is the app doing it not the
distro.
> At least I have donated to Arch in appreciation of the hard work they
do (and the support I've gotten from their wiki when I needed it).
That's great to hear and I appreciate your willingness to support the
base distro of what you are using. After all, Manjaro wouldn't exist
without Arch. :)

This article is so bad that I wish I could avoid commenting but most of the
information here is wrong so publishing it is irresponsible and therefore
ignoring it is irresponsible.
In this article we will review the 10 Linux distributions with most hits
during the last 12 months as per Distrowatch, and discuss the reasons behind
their popularity.
A note for new users: Distrowatch.com has been a reliable source of
information about Linux distributions since 2001.
The first sign that this article is just bad. Distrowatch does NOT track
popularity of Linux distributions it tracks the popularity of these distros'
activity ON the distrowatch website. If you are a user but have never visited
DistroWatch then your usage is not counted ever.
DistroWatch is good for looking and Trending distros but nothing else in
terms of usage or popularity.
Arch is not recommended for new users mostly because the installation process
is a bit complicated in that it will require a great deal of intervention on
the user's part.
It's not an intervention . . . it is a manual installation by design. Also it
is not just the installation, the Rolling Release nature of the distro is the
biggest reason it should not be recommended.
> Its desktop version is not as popular but continues to improve its visual
appearance year after year.
What desktop version? You mean the singular ISO that is for servers that some
people put on workstations because it is not solely headless? So, the Server
version that has a GUI.
> In addition, its robustness, stability, and 100% binary compatibility with
RHEL makes CentOS the number one alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux on
cloud VPS vendors.
Or makes it the companion to RHEL for a stepping stone to using RHEL if
someone were to want to do that since both are owned by Red Hat.
----I can basically pick a part each section of this article because you do
so little research but I will skip to the "#1" distro. As described
previously, DistroWatch does not define what is or is not popular.
> One of the reasons behind its popularity is the fact that Mint includes
Java, provides browser plugins, media codecs, and support for DVD playback
out of the box.
Well except for the fact that Linux Mint 18 stopped including codecs and all
the other proprietary stuff they used to due to legal ramifications and
effort involved with managing these different versions. So nope.
> It is precisely because of this that Linux Mint often is the preferred
distribution of both new and experienced users - a complete operating system
ready for use after installation.
Again, nope.
> During 2016, 3 releases came out: 17.3 (Rosa), 18 (Sarah), and 18.1
(Serena), based on Ubuntu 14.04 (Rosa and Sarah) and 16.04 (Serena).
Wow! How the crap did you mess this one up so bad? I mean Wikipedia could
give you all the information for this.
17.3 was released in December of 2015. (the extra XFCE and KDE spins are NOT
the main releases for 17.3)
18.0 aka Sarah was NOT based on 14.04 but rather 16.04.
18.1 is a point release of 18.x so why would you think that they would be
such massively different cores?
------Please, just do some research before publishing something.

Welcome.

I do actually have to be hard on you if that motivates you to put
effort into your articles to be accurate. The examples I provided
are just glaring problems that I was willing to comment on due to
just skimming the article. It was so bad because you were
irresponsible in not researching your article because a lot of this
stuff is wrong with no real reason to be. I mean the base of what
Linux Mint 18 vs 18.1, there is no excuse to be wrong on that
because 1.) Wikipedia has the info. 2.) why would you think a point
release of the same major version would switch the entire core in
such a large way?
I didn't mention the fact that you claimed openSUSE didn't have a
release in 2016 when it in fact did. Other commenters pointed that
out . . . maybe that should be motivation to actually research what
you are writing about.
By the way, you were also not attentive in my comment because I
didn't call the article crap as you inferred. I said "how the crap"
which just uses the word in a general sense.
> You could have just pointed out the facts in a more polite way,

Yes, I probably could have. However, you could have researched the
article before publishing it so there's that.

It is "informative"? How is spreading misinformation "informative"?
It is telling you things, in fact many things, that are simply not
true and are easily researched beforehand. At best, this article is
a result of laziness . . . at worst, apathy.

I don't mind that you dislike my approach to informing the author

It does. Depending on how much accuracy I need, I consult the
appropriate sources of information. For example, when I need
precise information on the C function "fork" (because I am
writing a program), I use the official GNU documentation. To
see, in general, what this function does, I would read
something like this article.

It saddens me (but doesn't surprise me) that PCLinuxOS didn't make the list.
It was IMO the best desktop distro for a long time. But it just never got the
traction needed to keep growing. I was reluctantly forced to move to Kubuntu
(I'm a KDE fan) to get the tools I need.
I'm surprised OpenSUSE is all around, let alone top ten. In my mind, they're
permanently tainted by association with Novell and their attack on Linux (at
Microsoft's behest).

This list is incredibly flawed just in general but openSUSE made a LOT
of changes and improved drastically in 2016. openSUSE deserves to be on
the list regardless of the overall invalidity of this article.
> In my mind, they're permanently tainted by association with Novell and

Their attack on Linux? That's the first time I've heard such a thing so

I moved to Linux Mint after years of trying to stay on Ubuntu while avoiding
the Unity desktop (I just don't "get it"). I'm glad Mint is #1, since they
seem to "get" users like me - definitely easy to install, easy to customize,
easy to keep current, etc. I'm at the age where "hassle-free easy" is the #1
requirement (great security is important, and also easy on Linux!).
Small error in your article - Linux Mint "Sarah" is based on Ubunut 16.04
LTS, not 14.04 (see [261]https://goo.gl/4ni1l1 ). Linux Mint version numbers
now track Ubuntu's LTS releases, with the .1, .2, etc., releases still based
in the Ubuntu LTS version. As great as Ubuntu is, Mint has a better system.
I've only installed LTS versions of Ubuntu since 8.04, and the folks at Mint
understand this...
