About the Top 100 Linux Software chart

Top100Hub's Top 100 Linux Software chart for 2026 is designed to make a changing public ranking easy to inspect and verify. A current Linux application chart combining independent package-store popularity, trending activity, and search demand. Each published chart shows its latest update, movement, eligibility status, source datasets, and high-level FluxScore factors.

How is the Top 100 Linux Software chart ranked?

FluxScore is a whole-number rating showing how trustworthy the evidence behind an entry is. It considers how many reliable sources support it, whether they agree, how current they are, and where the information came from. For sports statistics, an official league or trusted statistics source may be enough. Each refresh tries every dataset listed for that chart, but only sources that actually support an entry can increase its FluxScore. FluxScore does not measure popularity or decide rankings, and community opinions cannot change it.

How often is this ranking updated?

FluxCrawler checks approved sources every hour. The page distinguishes the latest source check, successful data refresh and material ranking change; each source keeps its own publication schedule.
