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.
My fav obscure distros are: 1. Sparky Linux, Debian based simple stable system. It has many flavours with a lot of desktops to choose from. Also has stable and semi-roling iso. Now I never installed Debian itself, so can’t compare sparky with Debian. But it is very much better than any other distro I used. I don’t know why it is not popular. 2. Reborn OS. I used to love it when running. Arch based lovely project. This is the very much successor of Antergos.
Have you tried Spiral too?
Spiral, yes I had a glance on it. It seemed the Gecko of Debian, as expected. I did not find it too different than sparky, so I did not embrace it well. Not planning to see again for now either. If I get a chance to try a new distro, I’d install Void or NixOS. For now I am happy with Arch or ubuntu family.
