        UBports: 146 votes (18% overall). Very nice! πŸ™‚

        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

          @cliffcoggin It's DistroWatch, not some obscure little known website.

          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.

                                    That's a pity. 😞
