Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Favorite? No. Most acceptable: NixOS.
The worst documentation of a linux distro I have ever encountered, but the declarative model has convinced me I don't want something else. Now I'm just waiting for other distros to pop up that are declarative as well. (Guix? No thanks, I'm not a fan of endless parentheses)
CrunchBang++, BunsenLabs, Bodhi, Antix and Peppermint.
Void - https://voidlinux.org/
Was scrolling through to see if anyone had mentioned void. I use Fedora these days but Void is great because of how easy it is to contribute to with its GitHub-based package management workflow - anyone can update a package or introduce a new one, it just needs to be approved. It doesn't get any easier than that
EndeavourOS
Artix.
Guix is imho beyond normal distros, and I'm never going back to Manjaro or any of the normal distros.
Bodhi Linux. Lightweight and beautiful
Puppy Linux.
I like Poky. But for other use case than Arch, Debian and Fedora.
Kali Linux! Just too useful, though there can still be some fixing around.
Fixing?
I've been enjoying Mint personally for my laptop. I've tried Ubuntu but I've had issues with the speakers :/
Toaster Linux or Nobara.
Ublue although it's kinda still fedora, otherwise alpine even though I don't really use it.
Rocky
Ubuntu is so easy to use!!
Manjaro KDE for me - it's not Arch per se, otherwise Ubuntu would also be eliminated for being a derivative of Debian...
I've said this before, and I see that I have to say it again, Zorin OS.
