2nd part is currently scheduled for the next week.

Hello friends on Fediverse, do you know distro list webpages which are user friendly (iconic, less text) other than LibreHunt https://librehunt.org/distrolist? On such a page, I can see Ubuntu, Fedora, even GuixSD and others, displayed nicely with grades from easy to hard.

I forgot them and I lost keywords and also forgot the authors. Please let me know. Thank you very much.

#xubuntu has migrated to #github for development and #transifex for translation.

This is disappointing to see such unethical move by leading #FreeSoftware projects. This happens while #gitlab and #gitea are very much mature and even far ahead of github. For translation also #weblate is a very much capable #FLOSS platform.

Let's react and change their mind to remain ethical.
