We all know about Debian, Fedora and Arch but what about the lesser known ones that are built from the ground up?

Trisquel GNU/Linux is a libre distro with zero proprietary software and zero obfuscated binary-blobs used in drivers.

So the entire codebase of your distro is visible and readable.

Based on Ubuntu, so it gets the best of Debian and Ubuntu, and then strips out the non-free cruft and possible exploits.

Based on Ubuntu

So not fitting the "built from the ground up" criteria asked by OP.

LFS, then. By definition, 'from scratch'.
