I use Thunderbird for Email client. I never like 'Evolution' because it was wrapped in with the Gnome Desktop in intrusive ways that I did not like. I do have a Claws on one or two Raspberries and it is fine. I like the Portability of Thunderbird which keeps its tentacles within its own Folder.

I have been using CopyQ and I very much like it. I have just upgraded one of my machines to Fedora 31 and it is not working right now. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I use Evince and for me it does its job for what I need. Looked at Okular but never pursued it.

I suggest adding MX Linux because it can be run as a Live distros just like the others and has presistance. MX Linux is the big brother of antiX. Please forgive my spelling as I have yet to find a spelling checker in Linux that actually works.

Are you sure about that ?

openSUSE is very much "KDE centered", and probably has the best implementation of KDE around.

OpenMandriva also uses KDE by default, along with at least a couple of others on the very same list you quoted...

Desktop Distribution of the Year
 
RE: Desktop Distribution of the Year
As Salix is now, apparently, inactive, you might want to consider replacing it with Slackel, which is based on Salix. Just a thought
Other category addition suggestions:
Live Distribution of the Year
MX
Browser of the Year
Otter Browser (same concept as Vivaldi, but implemented better)
IDE of the Year
Blue Griffon
Linux/Open Source Podcast of the Year
Joe Colins' EZEE LINUX
PDF Viewer of the Year
YACReader; though a good comic reader, it also works well as a PDF Reader



These are the ones I use:
Desktop Distribution: MX
Live Distribution: antiX
Browser: Opera & Otter
Desktop Environment: Xfce
Window Manager: Fluxbox
Audio Media Player: VLC
Video Media Player: VLC
IDE: Blue Griffon
Text Editor: Geany
File Manager: PCManFM
E-mail client...I have used Earthlink's Webmail since 1999; that said, Geary looks and feels most like what I am familiar with
Programming Language: C & Perl
Secure Messaging Application: Telegram
Graphics Editor: Inkscape
PDF Viewer: YACReader

TrueCrypt is dead.
Quote:

TrueCrypt is a discontinued source-available freeware utility used for on-the-fly encryption (OTFE). It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file, or encrypt a partition or the whole storage device (pre-boot authentication).

On 28 May 2014, the TrueCrypt website announced that the project was no longer maintained and recommended users find alternative solutions. Though development of TrueCrypt has ceased, an independent audit of TrueCrypt (published in March 2015) has concluded that no significant flaws are present.[5]

Alternatives include a freeware project based on the TrueCrypt code, VeraCrypt, as well as numerous other commercial and open-source products.
