Yes, I know that the ranking is not a good metric of real world use.
Just posting this because MX Linux has been in the number one spot for a long time (2 years perhaps?) and it’s surprising to see some other distro on the top of their site.

I cannot think of a single reason bots would be pimping MX Linux.
It’s a pretty low key project. Antix gets more “noisy” than MX does, and that’s not even much.
IIRC, its because there is a vulnerability in some websites at https://example.com/mx so, since distrowatch has mx linux at https://distrowatch.com/mx a lot of bots will try to go to there and push its ratings up accidentally.
