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
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.
Distrowatch list is just how many people click the page on Distrowatch. It’s not a general metric how many people use it.
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.
