According to DistroWatch, MX Linux received most of the hits and seems to be the most popular Linux distribution at the moment.

When I saw this, I was pretty surprised. What do you think?

Yup this is probably closer to the truth. Distrowatch literally just counts page hits.

  Is MX Linux used for embedded/server applications? If it is, I wonder how many of those recorded instances are VPNs.

  Still somewhat surprising that MX Linux got the most page hits.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
