Linux Mint Distribution Ranks First in DistroWatch

In second place is Ubuntu, in third is Fedora. Statistics on the site http://distrowatch.com/ are displayed for the last 6 months. The main reason for the fall in the use of Ubuntu is the new desktop environment of Unity, and in Fedora Gnome3. Apparently not in vain Linus cursed these radical measures to change the desktop environment. And Linux Mint has not in vain kept a conservative eye and still uses Gnome 2.
