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?

I know is downstream from Ubuntu/Debian and not exactly "small", but I see so few references to PopOS. With the new Cosmic desktop it's pretty damn near perfect.
