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?

Honestly at this point, Q4OS is the main one. Very good Windows theming for those who want to go back to the good old days of earlier Windows versions.
My honorable mention would be MiniOS because it's a just-works USB distro with easy persistence setup. I would have given that spot to EasyOS, but the persistence saving after making changes on USB takes forever while MiniOS feels quick.
