There's nothing realible in Distrowatch. None. If you want something that gives even some hint of what popular and what is not then Google Trends is a good start:
https://www.google.fi/trends/?q=Ubun...ate=all&sort=0
Google trends is just as reliable (or unreliable) as Distrowatch.
I guess it is fun to test the difference between various Ubuntu spins but this test is not about that. You do understand that it takes time to do tests and those distributions have only a fraction of Ubuntu's userbase.
What exactly would those results tell us? I mean I think it's a bit more valuable information to know how actually useful platforms perfom than something that is tweaked for just one setup or used by no one.

Yet another, "Oh, OK".

DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking
The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics have attracted plenty of attention and feedback over the years. Originally, each distribution-specific page was pure HTML with a third-party counter at the bottom to monitor interest of visitors. In May 2004 the site switched from publicly viewable third-party counters to internal counters. This was prompted by a continuous abuse of the counters by a handful of undisciplined individuals who had confused DistroWatch with a poll station. The counters are no longer displayed on the individual distributions pages, but all visits are logged. Only one hit per IP address per day is counted.
The DistroWatch Page Hit Ranking statistics are a light-hearted way of measuring the popularity of Linux distributions and other free operating systems among the visitors of this website. They correlate neither to usage nor to quality and should not be used to measure the market share of distributions. They simply show the number of times a distribution page on DistroWatch.com was accessed each day, nothing more.

Yet another, "Oh, OK".

as a long time slackware user, i can say i google way more "ubuntu" then "slackware"
its a distro that dosent need google much if you read etc's and man's
and for anyone that asks me i tell them to install xubuntu or fedora-xfce (cuz theres a gui for everything in them)
Google are pro's at general statistics, distrowatch althou not as profesional as google has specialised at distros.
bouth cant possibly measure distro adoption precisely
still i belief normal/unity ubuntu is by far the most distributed distro simply cuz its comercialised the most
but i also think that people dont plan to play games or use opencl in linux, just browse the web mainly(ofc movies music and documents too)
