Can we add a small sentence describing the distro in short to readers and linking
to the project page here and for the other distro sections?

Maybe we can link to the respective upstream release pages?
E.g.,
- https://alpinelinux.org/releases/
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases
