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

    Guix since 2 years now. I use it to provision all my systems and having a unified configuration in Guile is just a joy

    Alpine.

    I’m a longtime Arch user, and would have preferred to use Arch on a particular system, but didn’t want to deal with needing to babysit ZFS packages from AUR.

    So, I decided to use Alpine after never having tried it before, and ended up sticking with it. Like Arch, it’s both lightweight and has a capable/sensible package manager, which are the main things that are important to me.

    I haven’t had any growing pains from Alpine’s use of busybox/musl/openrc, things mostly Just Work!
