They are many of them and some of them are really good.
# Really Good
## OpenBSD
Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft. We do what we do because we love Unix. Theo de Raadt
- unix philosophy, correctness, simple, secure
- if u can use it for everything
## Alpine Linux
- small, simple, secure
- open-rc, musl libc, busybox, posix shell
- has a lot of packages
- https://www.alpinelinux.org/
# Also nice
## Void Linux
- musl libc, posix shell, runit
- https://voidlinux.org/
## Gentoo
- nice idea to compile everything from source, good wiki
- https://www.gentoo.org/
- has build with musl, llvm and hardenend, uses openrc
- disadvantage: portage written in python and should not replace core utils
## Kiss Linux
- same idea as gentoo, but with mostly wayland
- https://kisslinux.github.io/
- https://kisscommunity.bvnf.space/wayland/
- https://comfy.guide/client/kisslinux/
- denshi video about it
## Oasis
- nice idea to link everything statically, package management and measurement of dependencies

# Just works but bloated
You don't know what you're doing, but that is an advantage and the whole point of these distributions.
## Garuda Linux
- arch based Dekstop OS
- https://garudalinux.org/
- with kde lite somewhat minimal
## Linux Mint
- ubuntu/debian based Desktop OS
- https://www.linuxmint.com/
## Arch Linux
# Could be interesting
## Redox OS
- Micro kernel design, written in rust
- https://www.minix3.org/
- https://www.redox-os.org/
## Plan 9
- developed some nice things and ideas for operating systems in general
