Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?

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.

Same similar story but was running Manjaro beforehand. Liking EndeavourOS so for as well!

Did have a Grub issue but after a day of what I call "constructive troubleshooting / learning", was able to rescue my installation.

Just got to have the drive to learn sometimes

Yeah I had one of those moments when an update totally broke stuff. Like, couldn't boot at all. Had to boot into the USB and chroot to reinstall some drivers. Was a fun learning experience lol

May I ask what spurred you to jump from Manjaro to EndeavourOS?

No particular reason, honestly. Ran Manjaro for ~4 years and just wanted something new. A lot of trial and error installing and just wanted a fresh start with the additional knowledge that I had gained over the years.
