Which distro do you believe deserves more recognition?

For me it’s PeppermintOS.

I started my Linux adventure a few years ago, and haven’t owned a Windows PC since.

I currently use Arch on my main rig, and I wanted to install Linux on two old laptops that I found laying around in my house

I then remembered the first distro I ever used, which is PeppermintOS, and I was amazed at the latest updates they released.

They even have a mini ISO now to do a net-install with no bloat, with a Debian or Devuan base.

Sadly, I believe the founder passed away a few years ago, which is why I was really happy to see the continuation of this amazing project.

crash_stop,

Gnuinos or Trisquel - Trisquel cos its clean and just works. Gnuinos cos its interesting, Devuan based and just fast.

Holzkohlen,

Why does it seem like half the posts on here have the sole intention of having me shill Garuda Linux? Refer to my older comments on why I think it is the best rolling release distro.

yum13241,

As an EndeavorOS user, I agree. Garuda is better for a system you install and it works, with all the goodies, while EndeavorOS is more of a “we gave you the foundation, do whatever you want” type of thing. Both are good.

ohlaph,

Maybe it has more recognition than I’m aware, but Fedora has been really good to me since 2018!

CalesDumb,

I recently switched to Alpine and after seeing how amazing it is I feel like it deserves more recognition in the Desktop Linux space

Jayb151,

It’s just difficult to install with a gui

CalesDumb,

I would give it another look if you can. The wiki is very detailed and it is quite simple to install a desktop environment like KDE or Gnome if you just follow the steps.

I don’t think it’s mentioned here yet: Siduction

More well known but less common as a desktop: Alpine

archchan,

Nyarch Linux

Haven’t tried it yet, but Ultramarine is very interesting, w/ Pantheon DE to be more specific

terry_tibbs,

I love the idea of peppermint OS but it didn’t work properly on my laptop both times I tried it, first time it wouldn’t install any of the extras I selected during the install process and the second time using the Debian 12 base it just straight up wouldn’t give me an option to install extras and the window would instantly close when I tried to open it. I really love the ideology behind it and it is a speedy OS but I’ve ended up going to LMDE instead while I toy with the idea of Arch.

Nobara, for audio and video production.

Pharceface,

+1 for Nobara. All the optimizations make some significant differences in frametimes in my experience.
