WARNING TO NEW LINUX USERS: USING DISTROS NOT FORKED FROM DEBIAN/RHEL WILL MAKE FINDING TECH SUPPORT HARDER
GoboLinux with its symlink system to make the file hierarchy more human readable is something I find cool.
I stumbled upon it because I wanted to go back to using AwesomeWM (learned a little LUA from payday modding) and it's somehow the only distro to offer it as a default.
If you want an even weirder recommendation, I've never tried it myself but I hear that Exherbo is made by Gentoo people who decided that gentoo didnt go far enough 👀
