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.

Solus has been added.

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.

Two categories is a good idea.
 

I like Anti's suggestion that there needs to be two categories.

Old boxes with lower resources should be a separate category.

I use Mepis, Debian, AntiX and MX Linux.

I voted for MX Linux because it is the best new distribution of 2015 in my opinion.

MX-15 is just beautiful.

Thanks for the feedback. There are no plans to break the Desktop Distro category into multiple polls based on resource usage.

Just installed Mint on a brand-new Skylake box and it works perfectly!

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!

I use and would vote Siduction

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!

Finally... I'm very much happy that I didn't miss it this year. I've been waiting to vote for 3 years. This is my first time to vote.

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?

LInux Lite
 

Please Add "Linux Lite"

Great Distro for Old/New H/W
Great for new/experienced users who want simplicity.

Vote: Linux Lite

Thanks

Why can I not vote..??

Linux Lite has been added.

You need at least 1 post to vote, so if you tried to vote before your post you would not have been able to. You should be able to vote now without issue.
