Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I'm curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I'd love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.

    I switched from Arch Linux to Artix Linux to test a distribution without systemd. For now, it works pretty good and I do like.

    Advantages… I don't see many, as systemd also runs pretty fast, I don't notice some extra seconds or milliseconds. I think the only thing I could like about not using systemd is that now I have more UNIX style RC, and the fallback DNS isn't set to Cloudflare by default. A part of that I had some issues I needed to fix, but I also enjoy learning new stuff so isn't an issue for me, I do like.
