I grew tired of bad "Top 10 Linux distros in ${CURRENT_YEAR}" articles so I wrote one that I would consider useful myself when starting out.

  • Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, stating "Linux Mint stands on the shoulder of giants, it is based on Debian and Ubuntu." on their homepage
  • Pop!OS is owned by System76 which is a business
  • OpenSUSE is owned by SUSE which is a quite profitable business
  • Manjaro is owned by Manjaro GmbH & Co. KG to "... to effectively engage in commercial agreements, form partnerships, and offer professional services".

You can dislike Canonical for whatever reasons, I would like to hear them. Saying "They are a business" is a bit disingenuous since all these distros have a business backing them and commerical interests in mind.
