Original question by @[email protected]

What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?

I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

Debian exists. Ubuntu wants to go Pro. Mint is squished in the middle. Fedora is doing mad science, and OpenSuSE is in full "We have Fedora at home" mode. Arch arches, and Bazzite is in an existential crisis over the coming x86 32-bit apocalypse. Also Nix is nixing, I guess. All the inbetweeners are trying desperately to be relevant and up to date.

We're simultaneously in a place where there are more options than ever, and yet it's become increasingly clear there are really only 4-5 options.

I would have loved to see elementaryOS as a viable option, but the whole "reformat to install new release" hurdle is a mega huge downside.
