So for the past number of years, on Distrowatch, the top 2 Distros for page hits have been Mint and MX Linux, in that order.
Now for the last few months the CachyOS Distro has come out from nowhere, to place 2nd in the list.
I have never even seen CachyOS anywhere in the listing, before this.
Apparently it is based on the Arch distro.
So here is a link to a comparison of CachyOS to Mint.
Remember that the Distrowatch list is not a guide to the number of users, but the number of people looking up information on the distro. I never click Mint on the list, and I suspect Mike doesn't click Ubuntu on that list. I do poke about sometime when I see something new that looks interesting. Arch doesn't interest me, or something based on Arch.
