This analysis by @boilingsteam is the most reliable estimation of #Linux distributions usage I know of.
Until 2012ish MediaWiki published statistics based on browsers' user agent.
At the beginning of this chart there's a similar scenario 7 years later, with Ubuntu very strong, but in 5 years the picture has completely changed.
Arch has dethroned Ubuntu (among gamers at least), the ecosystem is more diverse, and new distros gain terrain.
Eagerly expecting updates!

@75watt This is only for those who submit reports on ProtonDB. This represents the distro of interest for enthusiast gamers and wouldn't provide insight into the wider Linux desktop usage. It is still neat to see that enthusiasts are gravitating to Fedora 🙂.
