From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It was just released.

I wondered how they came to that conclusion, DistroWatch.com still shows it a #9 with no movement up or down.

Here is the original article. And this is the reason:

The beta for F34 was one of the most popular ever, with twice as many systems showing up in my stats as typical.

Distrowatch is completely useless for stats, their ranking is only based on the number of visits that each distro gets on their site. It has nothing to do with actual download or installation numbers.
