TOP of the TOP 2024

2025-01-09 by pavroo

The first ranking of all operating systems collected on the Linuxiarze.pl portal in 2025 provides the most popular operating systems from the family: Linux, BSD, Solaris, DOS, AROS, MikeOS, UNIX, TempleOS, Android and others, which are or were developed independently, or are based on other, existing projects.

As always, I took into account the views of the distribution/system pages, download pages and system installation pages.

Choosing the top ten of 2024, to which you paid more attention than to other systems, may be interesting, but should not be a surprise.
Once again, I was not surprised by the lack of systems other than those based on the Linux kernel in the top ten (as well as in the second), but the third ten showed that you are also interested in other systems.
