From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Feren OS, a linux distro focused in customization. Started as a Linux Mint derivative, is now based on Ubuntu and/or Debian (I'm not really sure)
Of those I'be personally tried, certainly chimera linux or mageia
Shark Linux
Kiss linux. Gobolinux. They are both alien, but interesting, each one in its own way.
postmarketOS. Way too underrated.
Thank you 🤗 I hope not too many people see us as obscure though...
One of the coolest distros, ever. It's like a mix of Alpine Linux and Slackware without dangerous firmware payloads.
FreeBSD Just kidding
I think you mean Chimera Linux
Windows 11
Longene Linux. Linux-based operating system kernel intended to be binary compatible with application software and device drivers made for Microsoft Windows and Linux.
Not super obscure, but not many talk about it. Q4OS, I love it, a perfect windows replacement down to even imitating the old style windows installer. Plus it's Debian based so it has a lot of support. I plan on moving my grandparents to it when windows 10 gets fully discontinued as their current rig doesn't support 11
