zavbala··on Show HN: The New DistroWatch
Just for design purposes :) Why do you think?
zavbala··on Hello, I wanna make the new DistroWatch
When I started with my Linux Journey, distrowatch was the main resource to get info about distros. But to be honest, it's old and awful (I know it was made a lot of time ago).

For me, desktop environments were a fucking headache, I didn't know where to start and why were many of them.

So, I have a live demo currently DistroBase

The main page shows the top 100 distro on the last 30 days, and you can see distro details.

I came to get feedback about what is missing on distrowatch or what feats you would wish here, out there are many novices and this site should be the strongest.

Some of my ideas:

- Live demos of desktop environments to see the differences between them (vanilla).

- Notifications updates (discord bot, etc).

Logos came out from SVGPorn

It will be open source, btw.
