Why the Distrowatch chart counts
The title of the post was "PCLinuxOS gaining more popularity than Ubuntu?" - a question to which I would discuss the answer. The important word is "popularity". Popularity doesn't mean "more people are using PCLOS than Ubuntu" because that doesn't tell the whole story; people talking/reading about it counts.
Explain
Well, if there are 8,000,000 people talking about Java yet only 500,000 using it whereas PHP has 1,000,000 people using it and 100,000 talking about it - which is more popular? If everyone is discussing Natalie Portman online but fewer people saw her latest film compared to no one discussing Paris Hilton online but lots of people buying her album (god forbid) then which is most popular?
My point is just because I'm saying PCLinuxOS is top of the distrowatch chart doesn't mean that I'm saying more people are using it than Ubuntu. It doesn't mean I'm saying it's better than Ubuntu.
The Distrowatch chart measures clicks, clicks portray popularity
If more people click on site A rather than site B, site A is more popular. Simple. More people reading about PCLinuxOS conveys an increased popularity - it's not a complicated concept.
I didn't use the term "usage statistics" or anything relating to it; therefore it seems folly to assume that's what I was attempting to explain. The point I was making was that PCLOS was above Ubuntu on the 3-months chart. I was not saying PCLOS has more users; just that it's newfound position in the chart portrays an increased level of interest that was not there before. Just thought I'd make myself clear.
