For the less knowledgeable in what it represents DistroWatch or what is its importance or relevance, it is worth clarifying that it, citing your own website is:
"A website dedicated to discussing, reviewing, and updating information related to open source operating systems. This site is particularly focused on Linux distributions and flavors of BSD, although other open source operating systems are sometimes discussed. There is a lot of information on Linux distributions and this site tries to collect and present that information consistently to make it easier to locate.".
And regarding your Ranking of the most popular Linux / BSD Distros, it is worth highlighting the following:
"DistroWatch's page visitor ranking statistics are a lightweight way of measuring the popularity of Linux distributions and other free operating systems among visitors to this website. They do not correlate with use or quality and should not be used to measure the market share of distributions. They just show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch.com has been accessed each day, nothing more".
