      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)
