It's wild ubuntu still has those numbers. It seems like an experimental distro doing all sorts of shady stuff, I'm not sure why people would stick around for that.
I wasn't aware Fedora was such a "small" distro that even OpenSUSE had larger shares than it just 5 years ago. And nowadays very few run openSUSE.

I am one of those. I tried Ubuntu server once (after using CentOS), liked it somehow and have hence installed so many ubuntu-vms it would be a major PITA to change them all to arch. Which would be my today-choice. Honestly don't know much about cachyos.

That does sound like a huge advantage Ubuntu has over other distros, one I didn't consider. Makes sense people would stick around. Also they've proven that when they say LTS, they mean it.
I'm just not a fan of snap being proprietary, and them trying to get around GPL by rewriting core-utils etc.
That's what I meant with "shady".
