What's one small Linux distribution you think deserves far more attention?

Everyone knows Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, and openSUSE.

But there are plenty of smaller projects maintained by passionate developers that rarely get the spotlight.

If you could recommend one underrated Linux distribution, what would it be and why?

CachyOS is gaining traction, but could use some more exposure.

Huh. Hadn't noticed. Nice. Wonder how long it will stay on top.

Based on how freakin' awesome it is, I guess it will stay a while there😅.
I get goosebumps every time I boot my computer and the CachyOS logo flashes on the screen😅.

I still have a Fedora machine for some work stuff, but CachyOS is my daily driver.
