>Also tried it's sister distro called Antix and after install its Firefox ESR automatically redirected me toward some strange Karl Marx biography page, Antifa and also couple other bookmarks were predefined without my consent.

They're anti-facist and leftist, though I don't know why they shoehorned in leftist material into their firefox packaging.

I've landed to the conclusion they call it MX linux short from Karl Marx (Marx linux  :o  ). Not 100% sure but there's a tiny possibility for that to be the case.

Because that's what they do, and it's basically expected from people who define themselves as anti-something because their own beliefs are severely lacking.

And before some smart ass tries to turn this argument against me ("you're anti-systemd"), no, my belief is strong: init must be simple, secure and stable.

Well , you should not care about the rankings ... Everyone has a choice and everyone tries to find the best suit for him. I never looked at rankings about anything because thats the ranking given by the people and not me. Their choice is different and mine is different. I found Artix to be the best available distro that suits to my needs and I don't care what other people do and think because I will be using it for me and not for them. I wanted a rolling distro free of systemd . Openrc as the init system( runit also if not openrc) and with minimal installed packages (not bloated) based on arch as i like the pacman package manager. so artix is the one i am using why because it have the things i wanted. ( however i want to use qtile wm) even thats not in the artix community but i forgetted about that and use mate edition becuase there is not other distro that has the things i want. some are bloated and many use systemd.

Distrowatch doesn't mean much as its so open to manipulation - if you've been watching with amusement over the last few weeks, you might have noticed that some silly little sausage posted on the 30/7 and ever since then they've been flat-lining any votes other than their own post (rating: 4), which is basically a rant without any actual understanding, piece of shit (I'm assuming they've been using tor browser and doing a "new identity" so as to make so many votes in such a short period of time).    But, looking on the sunny side, I don't wake up next to them, and whoever does I feel rather sorry for, that's on the assumption they're not just sat in there dirty duds all day eating doughnuts whilst trolling...now there's an image that could haunt anyone.

Of course when you see such biased rankings towards a distro like Artix that has so many positive comments and has so much to say in Linux world, you just disregard such ridiculous ranking. But i visit rather often that page to see how much and how long their dishonesty can go.
