7 I don't know what "feeded" means. Distrowatch is useless for anything
8 but figuring out what distros are popular among people who actually
9 still use distrowatch.

14 It works well in quite a few distros.

16 If you mean that we should go with what is currently popular, then
17 that would be Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and to a lesser degree
18 Ubuntu. But I'm not sure what that mental exercise affords us. I am
19 more concerned with how we can make Gentoo better, and how we can grow
20 and evolve as a distro. I don't think Gentoo as it exists today will
21 continue to be a success in 2025. From a user POV I already think that
22 Gentoo is likely not the best distro choice for me. But instead of
23 immediately abandoning ship like other developers have, I want Gentoo
24 to improve.
