You are at one...just ask about a particular distro and someone usually responds.

 

Google is a good tool for finding more sites.

 

My review of Xenial Puppy......I love it!  :grinner:

I do not see individual reviews of specific Linux operating systems like q40s, opensus, rhino etc.. from https://itsfoss.com

https://phoronix.com.

 

I noticed that distrowatch had complaints about user reviews not being posted, so iI am looking for another site as a comparision.

Then browse all the sites listed on distrowatch and see the reviews or forum posts to see how people use it.

The sites above also answer your questions as they are independent from any linux distro.

The sites you provided do not answer my questions.

 

Distro watch provides a per user review for many distros. As an example mx-linux

 

https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mx

 

the site you provided does not have a group of user opinions on different Distros.

That site is the point of view of the web site. I am looking for every day users from all over stating their issues or likes on several linux distros.

Then you don't understand the term DISTROHOPPER and what it means. I know for an absolute fact that the site above is from a user that tries any new linux dustro or ones from distrowatch.

Again you're being absolutely ridiculous and stubborn like in all your threads. Oh and that site is tested on hardware not vms

You do not understand the question I posed. I am looking for users that provide reviews. Not a single site's point of view.

 

Example 5 different users that talk about 5 different linux distros. Distrowatch.com has several users rating from 1 through 10 and leaving comments

It's 1 user that tries 5 distros on one machine again your being ridiculous and stubborn. It's not a single sites point of view. The author downloads and tries each distro for I think a month or two and writes up detailed reviews then your three liners at distrowatch and goes onto a podcast and reads them. He's far more reliable and thorough in testing then 5 different users on distrowatch posting 3 liners.
