Thank you for any feedback.

I never heard of Alpine Linux, and also, I find that list incredibly confusing. I don't understand what the colored circles mean, and I don't understand why the OS is not the first thing you see on the left side of the spreadsheet. Display managers and DE's should be to the right of the OS spreadsheet.
Then again, I didn't get a masters in office school, so what do I know about spreadsheets. I just know its confusing, and if it takes me longer then 10-seconds to figure out the weirdness of the spreadsheet, I might perhaps have a point.
In the end, what exactly are you trying to figure out information wise? Are you asking about what OS we recommend? Well, your on a Zorin OS forum, so obviously were going to recommend Zorin OS. Also, I don't know that website, so I don't know the validity of their info either.

I find these Lists in general a bit ... Well, it is good for a little Discussion. But the Problem is that they show a wrong Objectivity in my Opinion. I mean, at the End counts what for an Use Case the User has and in which Way an User use the System. So, I don't think, that these Lists are more worth that an Indicator for Small Talk.

Thank you all for your valuable feedbacks :).
This comparison draw my attention as criteria seem to be pragmatic.
This order seems to reflect the Memory Usage (M) value (first column).
I support Zorin OS too.
Mainly because it is "User orientated" system.
And sometime, I need some arguments when I am facing geeks or other persons who focus on technical aspects.
Alpine Linux is knowed for its connection with Docker: How to Use the Alpine Docker Official Image | Docker
But never used.
Tag color is not an evaluation of each OS, just a reference to the OS version
Red: More than 1 year since release
To share fresh data could be helpful.
Thank you for your time and interest, have an excellent 2025 year.

Please, let me add,
with several hundreds of OS systems, to be present in this list is already a succès.
And more :):

It's very popular in FreeBSD for running in bhyve or jails. I think as mentioned, mainly for Docker or other specialized tasks running things that can't run on FreeBSD. There are a couple things I haven't figured out how to do on FreeBSD, like get the Android SDK. So I do those in a bhyve instance of Linux but I just use antiX. Although I will probably spin up an Alpine bhyve some time and check it out as a tiny base for running something else.
I have been extremely interested in NixOS because of the ability to reproduce your system, rollbacks, flakes, nix-shell and the package manager. But from what I understand it takes a pretty beefy pc to run it. Also my interest stems from that it would be nice not to have to manually setup a specific environment on a new machine, or jealously guard the environment you already have setup lest some minor change wrecks your production. Not because I think it would be comparible to Zorin!
We all know Zorin is #1! I have it on 2 machines already!

All I know about it are two things:
-
It's the distro that postmarketOS is based on (linux distro for android phones and chromebooks)
-
last time I checked, it was against using systemd
