That table isn't very helpful. What does it mean for Arch Linux to have IPv6 support? When you say "Amazon" doesn't have IPv6 support, do you mean AWS, the retail store?

It would be better if instead of linking to say, archlinux.org, you link to the actual page describing what specifically about Arch is IPv6, same for all the other endpoints. I would also replace the support sentence with a green/yellow/red color checkbox, and get rid of the twitter link.

How accurate is this? Steam I know has some ipv6 support for downloads whilst here it says it has no support at all.

There’s probably a good reason for it, but I’ve never understood why IPv6 couldn’t be fully backwards compatible. Then there would be no need to migrate - everyone would be already on IPv6 by definition.

Can someone explain to me what does IPv6 offer that's IPv4 doesn't? Apart from way more addresses. A good article would suffice.

It says the O2 (ISP) has no IPv6 support but as a O2 DSL customer in Germany I have an IPv6 address for at least a few years.

It feels ironic to post this on a site which itself does not support IPv6.

It seems this site relies on a check for the domains' AAAA records to see if they support IPv6. Doesn't have anything to do with IPv6 in the products/apps that those sites offer.

Yet their website is not available over IPv6: https://github.com/andir/ipv6.watch/blob/master/conf.yaml#L3...
