I was a little worried seeing that DistroSea It had not updated its catalog for at least two months. It's not that I'm aware of what they do; Ubuntu versions 23.10 were simply not available, thrown on October 13. Activity on social networks like X or on your RSS feed They did not invite optimism either, but a last look at their catalog leaves no room for doubt: everything moves forward, and does so with strength.
If we go to their website, we can see that there are several new options. I know for sure that AntiX, Bodhi, Bunselabs, Linux Lite, Peppermint, Porteus and Spiral have been added, and probably some more. A regular is added to the list by Linux Adictos in recent weeks, Garuda Linux. Although it seems to be a little out of time, since abandoned options are included and the Latest Release Hyprland.
Updated with the official information, which I was only ahead of by a few hours 😜: 12 new distros and others updated.
Update: 12 more distros added to the collection. Website updated with new releases of distros.
Antix, Big Linux, Bodhi, Bunsenlabs, Edubuntu, Garuda, Linux Lite, Peppermint, Porteus, Spiral, Tiny Core Linux and Trisquel are now available to try online

DistroSea offers Internet connection if you are identified
It must be made clear that DistroSea allows you to take a look at different Linux distributions from the browser, but we are going to encounter certain limitations. As in a local virtual machine, Garuda, for example, does not display some animations, which requires native hardware. There is also no Internet connection for any user, but only for those who log in to the service with a Gmail account. It works on touch devices, and is a way to use Linux on your mobile without dying trying.
DistroSea can be considered as the heir to DistroTest, but adapted to new times. DistroTest, for example, did not allow us to connect to the Internet, making it impossible to use LibreOffice and send the document to ourselves or others. Plus, the design is also much nicer. If you didn't know it, it is undoubtedly the best way to try Linux distributions without the need to download the ISO, burn it to a USB and start it, and from here we recommend its use.
