Creating a Leaderboards Website?

Hi, so I'm wondering if there's a website where I can post editable leaderboards, or if I can create a free website to upload leaderboards.

Which version of Linux is best for me?

I'm thinking about getting a version of Linux that best suits my needs. I'm going to boot it on a USB drive because I'm running Windows 10, and I hear Linux is better for some purposes, and I also do not want to replace Windows as the rest of my family has important files on it. I have a Minecraft server that I like to run every once in a while and am thinking about getting into game dev of some kind. I'm also somewhat of a gamer who likes to play modern high end games. I've got a 1 terabyte hard drive and 16 gigs of ram (I'm not sure if this matters). Which Linux distro would be best suited for my personal use?

Is port forwarding safe for a minecraft server?

I want to know if port forwarding is safe to use just for minecraft, more specifically portforward.com
I'm making a simple modded server just for me and my friends and would not be telling anybody else my computer s IP address, however I'm not willing to have my computer wrecked just to play with my friends…
It would help if I felt secure in port forwarding, because I just won't do it if I don't feel secure.
also, will port forwarding effect any other devices being used on the specific router? Because it would be pretty embarrassing to have my mom knock on my door asking why her Wi-Fi is being weird.
