 Interesting but since it is titled "10 Most Used Linux
Distributions of *All Time*", why Zorin or Elementary as
opposed to Slackware.
 Nothing against those 2 distros, but in the 90s, in
reality, there were really 2 Linuxes, Slackware and Debian.
In the early days, Linux was Slackware then others started
to get popular in the late 90s.

The section on openSUSE is not fully correct. I can't say about the other sections.
First, it is openSUSE, not OpenSUSE. They spell it 3 times wrong and two correct.
Then they say that the enterprise version is based on openSUSE. This is is not fully correct; it derives loosely from the factory version, but the free stable version, Leap, derives closely from the enterprise version (binary compatible). Things change over the years, though.
