Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Google Trends recently updated their online "popularity" meter and Ubuntu remains the clear No1 Linux distro in terms of search trend. Fedora and Debian seem to be battling for the second position, while SuSE had a small "trend" loss in the 3rd place. Then, we find Gentoo, Mandriva, then Red Hat and Kubuntu. While this trend meter is not an official Linux distro market/mind share, it's considered a pretty good approximation. Meanwhile, Fedora seems more strong in USA, while SuSE in Europe.

Fedora is struggling to come to grips with its identity amidst an increasingly subtle relationship with Red Hat.


The identity to be a base distribution that uses cutting edge technologies using only Free and Open Source codes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (and its many variants) and One Laptop Per Child's Sugar. The real problem is the misinterpretation from many people and most IT medias who failed to understand Red Hat/Fedora actions that greatly benefits the whole Linux community.

Fortunately, most distribution developers understood and didn't care much about popularity as long they keep sharing the ideas and contribute for each others.
