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.

    I use NixOS for very similar reasons. And also, because I like my full configuration in one place.

      Yeah, I fully get why people like Nix.

      I fully respect it when people want a “next-gen-Arch” with the DIY-aspect of building their own OS. At least, that’s my impression on it.

      For me personally, it sounds like too much work. I’m not advanced enough and want something hassle free that “just works”.

      But especially for professional developers (reproducibility) and Linux enthusiasts, it sounds like a dream!
