From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It is indeed the top listed... kudos to them (or to whomever scripted downloads).
Even EndeavourOS and Debian are above Ubuntu. (For the last 6 months.) My theory is that most Ubuntu users don't need to search in Distrowatch anyway, but people looking an alternative for Ubuntu do. Also the site counts Kubuntu and Lubuntu and all variants as separate distributions. My gut feeling says to me that most users first use for Ubuntu, even if they look for information about Kubuntu.
That would be an explanation without script kiddies. Just because I have a good heart and faith in the community. :p (my jokes get worse every day)
