Not Linux, but 9front or that thing they wrap the gnu Mach kernel in.

Nixos, Legacy of the greybeard.
Any BSD folk 'round here?
Yo.
Wouldn't recommend it for novices, but I've just never had a better server distro, they perfected it.

Gentoo obviously :
To install, easy just get this iso, with no GUI, then whip your hard drive, create partition, copy the Linux core, config your core based on the hardware technical details of every components you have and will use, compile it, add extra core drivers, compile them, add all the software you'll use to get a GUI (Desktop environment), compile them,. Now you can finally restart without usb stick! Add all the software, configure and compile them. And for every update of every software you may check the details to be sure it doesn't break your config.
Easy no? It just took you a month to get all the steps right!

Ya there's Arch. There's NixOS. There's still Slackware.
But have you heard of 9front?
9front is useless. You won't be gaming or working with it.
Mostly, you'd learn how operating systems are constructed.
Or DoomOS or DoomLinux. It's a basic linux system where DOOM is the shell.
I forked this and tried to get it running. Learned some interesting things. Still doesn't work for me. :]

Brodie's beard is pretty yikes in this picture
Hannah Montana Linux or Biebian
UwUntu
LFS
No grey in beard? Shame π€
Is that a really young Brodie Robertson on the right??
Honestly, I can't tell if it's not an anime girl avatar anymore.
Don't? Arch is less scary and more annoying.
NixOS
Who TF is scared by Mint?
Did a clean upgrade/install of Mint about 10 hours ago. I'm back to business as usual. Minor tweaks, no tinkering.
I installed mint, and my Linux knowledge (little to none) plateaued because it never breaks. I never have to fix anything. I'm the iPad kid of Linux.
How dare it work!
Arch is fine... It has good documentation.
NixOS or Gentoo is probably my pick.
Or Linux from scratch
The nixOS slander in these comments would be valid if nixOS were simply a distro and not a cultβ¦
