I think the first comment in the article hit the nail on the head -- DistroWatch is just becoming less popular.

I can't figure out the reason for this though I do not refute the statement.

Even if distrowatch was considered to be an accurate measure of the popularity of specific distributions, it would still be impossible to tell anything from a single visit.

I visited distrowatch sometime last week and many of the top 25 distributions were going up in popularity.

Yeah, even I keep looking at distrowatch from time to time and I agree that some time ago many distros were showing growing popularity. However all the distributions going down in popularity at the same time surprised me.

Though DistroWatch is not a good indicator of this, unfortunately it still seems like Linux is loosing it's popularity. Check out google trends http://www.google.ca/trends/?q=linux&ctab=0&geo=all&...
