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.
Bedrock
:-) BedrockLinux, my daily driver for a dozen years. :-)
Bedrock looks crazy impressive and ambitious but, adding to your point, I have to admit I keep forgetting it exists.
On that note, I’ll add Vanilla OS.
I tried it once, and it was hella impressive, but I didn’t stick with it, I don’t know why. It just seems a little too much for me.
It kinda fucks up your FS (not in a data-loss way, but it gets really messy): it was showing 3.2TB… on a 509gb partition of a 1tb ssd. Heck, I only have 3TB in my whole PC
reminds me of /proc always being 128TB for no reason
Different tools handle that differently. Takes a little extra eye adjustment to tease out the information from
df -h, for example.
