DistroTest (Test it before you hate it...) was a website where you could run any Linux distro you wanted. VMs ran on QEMU on Debian. The site was last online August 6th, 2022.
Shutdown
On August 8th, 2022, distrotest.net became parked and up for sale. The site stayed like this until August 20th, where it was purchased by an anonymous user and turned into a Wordpress blog. The blog does not have any relations to the original site and the owner of the site continues to make posts about random, obscure products. Some are slightly NSFW.
The other domains remain parked as of September 5th, 2022. The original owner has not posted any updates on whether the website will return. The servers running the website are presumed to still exist, as the website did not state the servers will be shutting down, just the website.
Alternatives
While it is pretty garbage, Onworks is similar to DistroTest, However it does run outdated versions of certain distributions, so if you want the newest stuff, you're out of luck.
