Just a simple run down of DistroWatch’s best distros of the year.
Currently using Linux Mint Mate and I gotta agree with them that it’s pretty fucking great. Whats everyone’s favorite distro of 2025?

I don’t know a single person that uses MX Linux and yet it’s always at the top of the distrowatch list
Distrowatch list is just how many people click the page on Distrowatch. It’s not a general metric how many people use it.
It runs on an Intel compute stick about a decade old, and quite well. I use it on a couple of them I have.
Thats about it though.
I used MX for a bit. Its actually pretty solid and I liked their Fluxbox setup. Very similar to Mint as it provides quite a solid suite of tried and tested tools and is fairly easy to get started with if you have basic computer experience. It also has non-systemd options for those who are into that. Quite a few reasons for folks to check it out so I am not shocked its towards the top of the list.
I use MX Linux because it provides a simple way to use both the NVIDIA 340 drivers and the latest kernels with my 14 year old laptop.
