ubuntu and fedora are both shipping wayland out of the box with gnome which covers the overwhelming majority of every day users. most people are already using wayland. it's not our fault you decided that you want to use fluxbox on gentoo

I would love to hear how you can possibly know that.

If you like monocultures and arbitrary restrictions, maybe try Darwin?

I'd imagine they're basing their conclusions of off telemetry data from Ubuntu and Fedora. After all, Linux is just like Firefox: everyone who uses it absolutely loves sharing information about themselves with corporations! Telemetry data therefore presents an accurate, unbiased picture of the entire userbase.

Lol. But it's actually worse than that; Firefox enables telemetry by default and then ignores everyone who opts out, but I'm not aware of any Linux distros that enable it by default (Ubuntu apparently used to, until it silently broke and then they removed it: https://itsubuntu.com/no-more-popularity-contest-package-by-...).
