Manjaro is not my favorite Arch distro. But I want to give credit to Manjaro for one thing. They were once heavily (HEAVILY!) criticized for not keeping up to date with security patches. That they cleaned up. If I remember (it's a few years ago) a whole new team took over the distro. Might be wrong on that. But always fun to see a shakeup in the 'big 4'. Real or just on paper.
Debian is the clear "core/backbone" winner having Ubuntu flavors using it and having spot 2-3-4 (currently).
I don't see charts on this though. Would be Interesting to have a "core" and a "DE" chart on DistroWatch
Always fun to see the familly tree or periodic table on the subject

Cheers!
Wonder where we would rank for the distros that offer one DE and soon to be one arch (x64)?
That chart is below the periodic table on the Distrowatch page.

Uh, mexican here, just to confirm I'm not paying for any wall. (We'll climb it anyways ;D )
Anyone check DistroWatch today? (Friday May 11). It was Manjaro by a nose, now it's Manjaro by 2 lengths. Three weeks (minus a few days) until the official Linux Lite 4.0 release. I'm good.

Manjaro vs. Mint, just checked it now for a bit of fun:

It seems Manjaro has been up there in first place for the last 6 months.
Apart from their large number of DEs, I have to say they do have an excellent forum community and the German trait of paying great attention to detail shines through. Of course, they have the huge advantage of having the expertise of the Arch community to draw upon too ...
That said, LL has the edge - at least for me 8)
While on the subject of Manjaro, it's interesting to note the RAM usage (given they are both Xfce DEs)
when the laptop in setup 1 (see signature below) is idling:
- Linux Lite 3.8 ............. 345MB
- Manjaro-xfce 17.1.9 .....550MB
This was noted when I had an LL/Manjaro dual-boot setup.

And 5.5 years old or younger?
Loved the 'periodic table' representation.
