Problem is they isn't a website out there that puts out factual based info on Linux OS systems with the amount of OS introductions that Distrowatch does.(they never claim facts) It has the most submitted projects I've found on the internet. At least you can wade through them and try some to locate something your looking for. I found Zorin that way.
Most Top 10, Top 20, Top whatever are writing by funded orgs try to promote a agenda. At least on their site you have just submissions all in one place to figure out after digging a interest.
That is the first and only review I have every done for a OS. I've talk on here about my road traveled looking at some other projects, but that's it.
I'm not looking for the popularity contests or people just following because its cool. I am looking for the best fit for me. And Zorin has time and time again shown it RUNS REALLY well. Regardless of what DE OOB.
But that doesn't mean I can't or won't still have interest to what different flavors are out there to try.
Until another site comes along and offers 100's of distros to kinda chew on, I'll go there.
