View Poll Results: Desktop Distribution of the Year
Thanks to anticapitalista and mepis community antix and MX have became very stable, decent and popular. However, I still haven't seen any distro close to Slackware with respect to simplicity and flexibility. My vote goes for Slackware same as last year.
A lot of the OLDER machines that ran Win ME/95/98 only had about 1 GB and need a distro that will work at that point/ My vote goes to AntiX and MX, which will run on those machines. The newer distros forget about them.
Distribution: Ubuntu, Fedora, and look at numerous others

Lots of good ditros here, I've actually tested or used a number of them if only briefly, but for polish and professionalism, I used openSUSE mainly, then, due to how much simpler and easier it was for adding multimedia and other programs I needed quickly, I put Ubuntu on my main PC now.
openSUSE is still my main 2nd but I came to realize, I always kind of had Ubuntu in the back of my mind for when I just needed something to work, so my vote went to it.
Always look forward to this time of year, Jeremy, thanks for this poll!

Solus has developed a new nice desktop, let's see where it goes from here! But users at reddit have asked the developer why he has created a new package manager, and he basically answered that it was just for the sake of it, and that the package manager is not his priority at all. It is a very bare-bones package manager with lots of work, but no innovation at all. It is really a deal breaker for me!
The list doesn't seem to include Ubuntu derivatives - Kubuntu for example. Are they all included under Ubuntu?
Derivatives of SUSE and Gentoo are included, so why not *buntus?
Distribution: Debian, Red Hat, Slackware, Fedora, Ubuntu
