I’m wondering what the current favorite distros are besides the most popular ones like Arch, Debian and Fedora.

    Are there even other (good) distros that aren’t based on debian, fedora, or arch?

      Considering pretty much all of the best distros are based on those three, probably the best you’ll get is trying BSD. I can’t think of a single distro not based on one.of the three that is still maintained.

        Off the top of my head I can think of Gentoo, NixOS, Void, Guix and Slackware. Although idk if Slackware is mantained.

        edit: I forgot about Alpine Linux

        edit 2: forgot about OpenSUSE
