You dont have to sign up or anything I'm just curious. Many Thanks!

Dude, you have *BSD listed as GNU/Linux.

LOL I know. I just copied distrowatch top 100. Forget it included BSD. Thanks for voting. Over 400 in 4 hours. Pretty good. Surprised Ubuntu isnt winning by more and even more surprised Gnome3 is the most popular desktop (only just)

Re Ubuntu; its very popular (recommended) for newbies/those who want a more MS experience (but apparently Mint is even better).
Its less so for experienced uses eg see people's profiles on the left here.

A year ago Ubuntu got me into Linux and now I only use windows to play starcraft 2 (I got it running under wine but it was really sluggish

I think new users and ex-windows users would feel more at home with mint than ubuntu. It also looks a lot better in my opinion.

Arch is the only way to go for me at the moment though.

Over 600 people have taken the survey so far. You can see the results here

Couldn't participate, because there's really no distro or desktop that I use the most. I multi-boot, and use various DEs and WMs.

I think most people find a disto they like and stick with it. But if we were all the same it would be a boring world. Thanks for looking though. Over 750 responses much better than I ever imagined!

You're right. I have a handful I like, and I tend to stick with 'em, which I guess is not normal, although I think it's fun.

What do you run then? I've only been using Linux a year and swtiched to Arch a few months ago. Steep learning curve but well worth it. Not many distros rocking Slim login manager with i3 tiling window manager.

Currently: Debian, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Sabayon. Currently on various distros, Xfce, GNOME Shell, Unity, KDE, Openbox, and Fluxbox.

Also I like Mepis and Knoppix, but mainly for live sessions, when I need them.

lol that is a lot. Debian Sid was my previous distro. Loved it but Arch is more cutting edge and seems to have every package you could think of. You can even install Unity. Sabayon is a distro I'm going to look at as an intro to Gentoo.

That's after I cut back. I used to also have SalineOS, PCLinuxOS, Linux Mint, and Mepis, and I also had Cinnamon, E17, and AwesomeWM running here. I just like everything, I'm easy.

That's a big selection to use on a regular basis.

Personally, on a regular basis I use Fedora (all versions) with Gnome 2, CentOS 6.3 with Gnome 2, and OpenSUSE 12.2 with XFCE. These are all on different machines, and by FAR my favorite is OpenSUSE with XFCE, in fact none of the other systems are even a contender. I've also used Ubuntu a decent amount, and found it absolutely atrocious. Mint is decent, for an Ubuntu-based distro. CentOS and Debian are good for what they are, stable server distros, but when it comes to daily usage they start to fall down in many aspects. KDE 4 is avoidable, and Gnome 3 is an abomination in my opinion.
