Many blogs have echoed this news and it is no wonder. For the first time in the ranking of Distrowatch, Ubuntu The first place has been taken away and the culprit of that has been: Linux Mint.
Nothing in particular is strange to me. Although it is logical that the statistics of Distrowatch They are not the most exact, at least it gives us an idea of which are the most visited distributions on your site, and according to the data that can be seen, 6 months ago Linux Mint It is the one that has had the most visits.
Linux Mint is a distribution born on 27/08/2006 with the codename Ada. Based on its beginnings in kubuntu dapper little by little it acquired many followers and since then, it has evolved eventually. Today Linux Mint It has several flavors:
- Linux Mint (Ubuntu / Gnome)
- Linux Mint LXDE (Ubuntu)
- Linux Mint KDE (Ubuntu)
- LMDE Gnome (Debian)
- LMDE Xfce (Debian)
In Brazil, a report about mint came out, here

Thanks for the link, I'll see if a friend of mine who knows Portuguese does the translation, if so I'll put it here 😀
Damn, is it so hard for you to read Portuguese?
Nope, it is not so difficult for me to read it, the problem is that if I put that article here I want to have a translation as exact and correct as possible, and not what I have understood 😉
😉 It's good that you pay attention to the information you want to share.
First time? … Not that LM was in 1st place before?
Yes, but not for that long.
Let's consider that it is first and rising when the latest version has not yet come out, and if it comes with the news that Clem promised it will surely skyrocket.
The commands in the console of this distribution are the same as those of Ubunto?
In Debian, Winbuntu, Max, LM, LMDE, ElementaryOS, Sidux, DreamLinux, etc. the same commands are used
The commands are the same for Ubuntu, Debian, LMDE ... anyway. In general, all the commands are the same for GNU / Linux, except for some that may vary in distros like openSuse.
LinuxMint 12 RC can now be downloaded with MGSE and Gnome 3 http://t.co/xKz2Ocds
Thanks for the news. I'll keep an eye on it.
The same thing I said in Let's Use Linux:
Guys, if you ever need a translation, don't hesitate to ask me, I'm studying Translation and Interpreting (I'm already in third grade), so if you need any help with English, French, German or Portuguese, don't hesitate to ask for help!
Wow great, thank you so much 😀
I'll take you at your word, when we need a translation or something like that we will contact you 😀
Greetings and thanks really 😉
Do not hesitate to do it! I would very much like to help you in any way possible! 😀
I am one of those users that Linux Mint took from Ubuntu! Heh heh The philosophy of paying attention to users is very important. I remember that once, I read in a blog that in a conference they rebuked the owner of Canonical for the drastic changes he made. Mr. Shuttleworth's response was blunt: "Ubuntu is not a democracy." No way: users want to be taken into account, that's why Ubuntu has paid dearly: buttons on the left of the windows, Unity immature by default and I don't know what else. Goodbye Ubuntu! Welcome Linux Mint!
«» For the first time »you say?
If you yourself announced in April that mint had been put in first place.

I tell you the same as KZKGGaara. On that occasion it was not for that long. If it is the "first time" that Linux Mint supersedes Ubuntu for more than 6 months.
