I've said this before, and I see that I have to say it again, Zorin OS.
I love using Alpine Linux on my server. Super light and quick to start up.
Annie Linux, but sadly it doesn't exist yet.
Been using Xubuntu 23.10 recently, but I'm kind of a distro hopper. I need ROCm and some other special (proprietary, ehh) tools that require RHEL, SLE, or some Ubuntu flavor. I also like having a working out-of-the-box configuration. I've used openSUSE Tumbleweed and Arch Linux before, might try it again but it's a little bit complicated to me.
How do people feel about Garuda? I put it on a laptop to try it out. I'm still undecided.
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)
CrunchBang++, BunsenLabs, Bodhi, Antix and Peppermint.
EndeavourOS
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
Puppy Linux.
Puppy with what underlying distro though?
Puppy has their own but can be based on a lot of the main distros. I've used it to recover data from many a computer.
Solus as the Almighty Todd says "it just works" And that comes from someone which always has at least one problem, that problem being gaming.
It aint solved mind you but it works marginable better on it.
Example, anno 1404, no matter what distro or silly protondb config, or if I use a new steam profile or fresh distro , works.1 out of 10 times.
But Solus, it just works, no hoop jumping needed
Kali Linux! Just too useful, though there can still be some fixing around.
Fixing?
I like Poky. But for other use case than Arch, Debian and Fedora.
I've been enjoying Mint personally for my laptop. I've tried Ubuntu but I've had issues with the speakers :/
Ublue although it's kinda still fedora, otherwise alpine even though I don't really use it.
Toaster Linux or Nobara.
Rocky
Bodhi Linux. Lightweight and beautiful
Guix is imho beyond normal distros, and I'm never going back to Manjaro or any of the normal distros.

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.
