Personally, alpine linux grew on me a lot.

QubesOS. When you need security and don’t need to play games, this is objectively the best distro.

Artix.

Annie Linux, but sadly it doesn’t exist yet.

NixOS, would like to try Guix

Another NixOS user.

Some of my favourites are Void Linux, Artix and Opensuse Tumbleweed

Void was my first non-systemd distro, and it was super snappy as well. Some packages may not available but overall I had a really great experience with it. It also offers a version with the musl C library. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Opensuse tumbleweed is an overall a great distro, it’s one of my favourites. Also I noticed that many people have recommended it and that’s for a good reason. It’s installer isn’t that user friendly but I would prefer it over Fedora’s installer any day. ( I haven’t tried the last 3 iterations of Fedora, so it might have changed now )

Artix is well… arch with different init systems. Nothing too crazy. Its what I have been daily driving for the past year or so.

mx linux

I’m currently using Arch (btw), but I have been hearing the distant call of NixOS lately…

Alpine was the most interesting for me. It goes against the tendency of complicating the systems. I have to use Arch because everything can work on that distro.

Endeavour OS?

I’ve been enjoying Mint personally for my laptop. I’ve tried Ubuntu but I’ve had issues with the speakers :/

Manjaro KDE for me - it’s not Arch per se, otherwise Ubuntu would also be eliminated for being a derivative of Debian…

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)
