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.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
Quoting: Eric1212But in the graph, it's seems like we should see 64GB, 48GB, 46GB, 32GB, 25GB, 24GB, 20GB, 18GB, 16GB & 14GB. I know afterward that it's stupid to show data from 1 person when we doesn't show data from 306 but we still show the 10GB data from 4 persons... I never through to be the only one with 18Gb of ram... For the 48GB, maybe it's should be prefered on 10GB & 3GB...?
I literally don't understand what you're trying to say?
You're the only person with 18GB RAM, and the graphs only show a Top 10, there's 13 other sizes of RAM that have more than 1 person, so yours of course will not show on the graph, but only in the full info dropdown as it is.

Quoting: redshiftYeah, so you'd think. It might be less of a no-brainer to a developer coming from a Windows background though. It's always nice to have some solid data to back it up.Quoting: tuubiI thought it was a no-brainer really. Especially on gnu/linux systems.Quoting: redshiftAlways wondered if we truly need 64vs32 question. Why does it matter?Of course it matters, to any game developer at least. It shows how important it is to build 64bit binaries.

Why are the *buntus separated into separate distros while other distros that have different spins, like Fedora and Mint, are not? It's not like Xubuntu and Lubuntu and Kubuntu have their own separate repos, they still pull packages from the same Ubuntu repos. Other than adding a different letter at the beginning of the name, they're no different than spins of any other distro. This also seems redundant given the choice of desktop environments in the survey.

Xubuntu, Kubuntu and so on are done by entirely different communities and developers, with their own different branding and logos. They also implement features directly for their distributions and do lots of other tweaks. It's not simply slapping a new desktop on top of Ubuntu.
