Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?

Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I'm curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I'd love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.

  • Opensuse micro, I also run Nixos but opensuse does a really good job at using containers easily with distrobox

    • Talking about unpopular, I have just created fork of the project Greybeard (MicroOS+Sway) called “Moldavite” (meteorite induced explosion near Nürnberg caused a lot of gems falling on the ground in Bohemia, if it is not a symbol of the cooperation inside of SUSE, then I don’t know what would be ;)). The main project site is https://sr.ht/~mcepl/moldavite/ and OBS project is https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:mcepl:moldavite . Whereas, as I understand it, Greybeard is at least for the moment more or less on the back burner, I hope to continue to work on this.
