I am running Ubuntu 12.04 but using the Gnome "classic" desktop just
to escape Unity. How many others do the same?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I haven't really seen any data before that purported to
represent the relative use of different distros, but it
seems shocking that Ubuntu might have 30x as many users as
the next closest "competitor". I would have guessed
something like 50% for Ubuntu, 10-15% each for Fedora and
SUSE, maybe a bit less for Debian, and so forth.
But just consider:
- is the NY Times bestseller list an index of the best
literature available?
- is top 40 radio indicative of the best music available?
etc.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| Do you have a link to the source of these numbers? I have trouble locating them. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

“It would seem that all the happy XFCE users are a very
tiny minority of Linux users, and that for every one of them there are 33,000
happy Unity users.”
Well, yes—but by the same
token, for every Linux user, there are more than 10 happy Windows users. I'm not
sure that the figures say anything about how “happy” users
are about their systems—whichever system they run. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
