Is There a Way to View All Popular Linux Distros Based on ProtonDB Data?

Asked By CuriousCat42 On

I'm curious if anyone knows of a website or resource that has taken the ProtonDB dataset and created a comprehensive chart or graph showing the popularity of all Linux distributions. I know the Steam survey exists, but it only highlights a handful of distros. I stumbled upon a graph from Boiling Steam, but it still doesn't capture the complete list of distros. Has anyone out there formatted the ProtonDB data into something more visual?

I actually whipped up a quick Python script to analyze the ProtonDB data. Here are some of the most popular distros I found:
- Arch: 59,774
- SteamOS: 50,285
- Ubuntu: 42,890
- Manjaro: 32,994
- Pop!_OS: 21,428
It gave me a pretty good overview, but let me know if you're interested in the full list!

Since I was itching for something to do, I ended up gathering the data myself. Check out my findings on Pastebin. I compiled a tally of all OS names logged in the dataset. I could plot a graph, but I’m not sure it would add much beyond what you've already seen. Still, let me know if you're curious!
