Site loads for me with everything but DW blocked.

This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

No one really needs distrowatch anymore anyways now that MX is THE KING lol.
And with that royal distinction I can get a small coffee at the corner convenience store for $1.49...

Maybe if Mint grabs the lead on the default DW landing page, they'll get DDOSed instead of us. :crossfingers: :crossfingers: :crossfingers:

I also use it to find hard-to-locate (on a distro's website) torrents.
DistroWatch will remain useful as long as it maintains an up-to-date roster of free and open source operating systems and still offers an advanced search page that allows people so choose "not systemd" as a search criteria.

I only check DW once in a while nowadays, to check when the next Fedora is released. I choose always to be 1 release behind the latest Fedora version, and my release goes EOL 1 month after the release of the version 2 releases ahead of mine.

F41 just came out, so over the weekend I did an in-place upgrade from F39 to F40.

I read the DW weekly especially the Q&A section. Reviews are a bit long for me, but I usually read at least the conclusion section.
