After taking on some feedback along with refreshing the graph data today, the User Stats Page now has two different distributions graphs.
The first graph combines all Arch-based and Ubuntu-based distributions, so it's the most accurate graph of the two.
The second is the breakdown between each specific distribution and the spin-offs.
Why do I not include Debian with Ubuntu to have "Debian-based"? Ubuntu is actually quite different package wise to Debian nowadays and Ubuntu has a bunch of spin-offs directly from it. I don't think it's factually fair to lump Debian and Ubuntu together under a debian-based banner.
So, it should satisfy the curiosity of people like me who want to know specifically which spin-off is the most popular, while having the overall and proper distribution graph present first to give the clear overall picture.
I've added some explicit wording to the PC Info section of your User Control Panel to help clear up what people should select too:
Check out the User Stats Page.
Again, if you have suggestions, feel free and if possible (and if time permits) I can implement them. I won't add in all suggestions though of course, as we don't want to completely overload the page. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Thanks for the update, looks good!
I'd like to suggest the stats page includes some distro/DE icons for the "Click for full stats" entries. Icons to me feel easier to digest than plain old text and numbers.

NOOO! What is this, there is mutiny among the GoL members.
Arch was almost in the lead, now look whats happend :(.
Jokes aside, good job with this.
I think its been suggested before, but I woud like to see a Line chart over hardware and software/os version.
Would be a intressting thing to see how the trends are going and if arch will ever make comeback after you ruind it :P.
And maybe an option to choose between bars charts and Line charts, I dont know if line/bar charts is the correct word for it.
But I think you get my point.
Keep it up :)

Adding in icons in the full stats expanding bit is easy to do, will add that in tonight for you.

QuoteI don't think it's factually fair to lump Debian and Ubuntu together under a debian-based banner.That I agree with, but I am not sure that lumping all Ubuntu spin-offs makes sense either. I would say it only makes sense if they actually use the same repositories. Like how all these Debian flavors are not independent distributions, because they all are different default configurations of the same thing. But something like Mint, is it any closer to Ubuntu, than Ubuntu is to Debian?

I am wondering if pie charts wouldn't look better for these kind of statistics. You could make for example an outline with X-based distributions, with the details pictured in smaller portions, next to another distribution and its descendants.
