   It is there on the website:

   I'd add Sabayon Linux to the mix. It is getting enormous traction
   recently and is being touted as the most usable Linux distro, more
   so than Ubuntu. They have paid attention to the small things that
   impact usability a lot, for eg. mime-types are properly configured
   for every application so you will get the same results in Konqueror
   and Firefox.
