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

        How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

          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.

                            m.distrowatch.com

                            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.

                              Just tried it on Android device in Chrome. Was not really adapted to mobile.

                                That's a pity. 😞
