I don't know but it seems that Mint is pretty popular: https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity
Anyway, Mint is the closest to Windows 3.1/98/2000 by its simplicity. It shows windows, you can move your files and run applications, it's all I need.
Sounds good enough for average people. ๐
Arch at around #15 btw. I would have expected it to be a little bit more popular than some of the other ones on this list but I guess I don't know what the metric is based on here. Downloads?
Page hits. Good โol clicks baby.
Arch, 150 million page visits, 0 installs.
Debian, 1 page visit, 1 install.
Arch more popular than Debian. ๐
Could you imagine?
