I occasionally see love for niche small distros, instead of the major ones…

And it just seems to me like there’s more hurdles than help when it comes to adopting an OS whose users number in the hundreds or dozens. I can understand trying one for fun in a VM, but I prefer sticking to the bigger distros for my daily drivers since the they’ll support more software and not be reliant on upstream sources, and any bugs or other issues are more likely to be documented abd have workarounds/fixes.

So: What distro do you daily drive and why? What drove you to choose it?

    Just out of curiosity, what distro do you use?

    Or maybe, despite the question, you use BSD? ( which is cool if so )

      I use OpenBSD on my production machine and VPS, I use Alpine Linux on my phone. I’m also partial to Void Linux, though I don’t use it on any of my devices at the moment.
