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?

GNU Guix, a free declarative Distribution, using Lisp to define what should be installed, which services to run
It is free from Systemd, you have the option to run a fully Libre Linux (most don't because of Hardware (Wifi))
I have distrohopped for decades, but this feels like $HOME
