        Why?

        To show the world that we exist.

        Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

          Suit yourself. 😉

          But if you do use UT then why not vote?

                Call me cynical, but I never follow invitations to "open this link" unless I know the the person involved or he provides a reasonable explanation for doing so.

                  @cliffcoggin It's DistroWatch, not some obscure little known website. Don't vote then if you feel that way. Jeesh.

                      I've never heard of it, hence the need for some explanation.

                        @cliffcoggin Ok, I just presumed that everyone here would have heard of DW.

                          I looked up DistroWatch on my FP2 Smartphone via Morph. It looked terrible - not mobile-friendly at all. I could see the poll results but they didn't fit on the screen. Does DW have a mobile version? I tried both mobile.distrowatch.com and m.distrowatch.com but no joy.

                                            I tried m.distrowatch.com on a relatives Android phone - m.distrowatch.com seems ok on their browser (Chrome and some other default internet browser). Morph has an issue with m.distrowatch.com as it shows poorly.
