From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bedrock looks crazy impressive and ambitious but, adding to your point, I have to admit I keep forgetting it exists.
On that note, I'll add Vanilla OS.
I tried it once, and it was hella impressive, but I didn't stick with it, I don't know why. It just seems a little too much for me.

I recently switched to Alpine and after seeing how amazing it is I feel like it deserves more recognition in the Desktop Linux space
Nyarch Linux
I love the idea of peppermint OS but it didn't work properly on my laptop both times I tried it, first time it wouldn't install any of the extras I selected during the install process and the second time using the Debian 12 base it just straight up wouldn't give me an option to install extras and the window would instantly close when I tried to open it. I really love the ideology behind it and it is a speedy OS but I've ended up going to LMDE instead while I toy with the idea of Arch.
Why does it seem like half the posts on here have the sole intention of having me shill Garuda Linux? Refer to my older comments on why I think it is the best rolling release distro.
As an EndeavorOS user, I agree. Garuda is better for a system you install and it works, with all the goodies, while EndeavorOS is more of a "we gave you the foundation, do whatever you want" type of thing. Both are good.
Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, an Arch Linux spin with no non-free software.

I don't think it's mentioned here yet: Siduction
More well known but less common as a desktop: Alpine
