Or Mint!

Linux Mint (2,056 hits) has more page hits than Ubuntu (1,183) or Debian (911) on DistroWatch.com.

If anyone knows a more authoritative source of distro popularity, please reply.

Google Trends puts interest in Ubuntu at about half of interest in Linux, while Linux Mint is way down below Debian and CentOS: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0fpzzp,%2F...

Could all be an artefact of the way Google classifies searches into topics, though.
