“DistroWatch Weekly”, which tracks Linux distributions, released its first issue in 2023, and it is also the thousandth issue since its inception.

The contributors to DistroWatch Weekly took the opportunity to talk about their distribution journey, as well as three new distributions, Vanilla OS, CachyOS, and the Nobara Project. A contributor claims that his earliest distribution was the long-defunct Slackware branch Pygmy Linux, the first complete distribution that could serve as a Windows replacement was Phat Linux based on Mandrake Linux, and two more user-friendly Distributions Fedora and Linux Mint.
