I wonder what the number of users is various distros. I used Gentoo on my desktop around 15-20 years ago and really loved it, but now I prefer vanilla Debian. I think Arch took over a large part of the Gentoo user base.

    Gentoo doesn't do user stats, so it's impossible to tell.

    Yeah, I know, I was thinking more along the lines of the Distrowatch popularity ranking of which specific pages get the most hits (and Gemtoo pretty low down these days).

    I would expect Gentoo's rankings on Distrowatch to be lower than its actual uptake. I mean, it's an oddball distro, an old and well-known one whose reputation probably spreads more by word of mouth than anything else.
