But my favourite so far is FUTO Keyboard.

Note, that FUTO Keyboard is proprietary, as its code is being distributed under source-available license: https://gitlab.futo.org/keyboard/latinime/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Amazing, thank you!

Guix is interesting, but I need to use proprietary Nvidia drivers to play games and it goes against Guix nature.

It’s complicated and I have a few reasons.

1. Last time I used it, Fedora’s updates were too unstable. I twice got updates breaking my system setup. For example, with openSUSE it happened only once (recent broken Mesa update). Also openSUSE updates surprisingly feel more stable than Fedora ones.
2. I don’t like Red Hat. Even though I understand that open-source projects are complex and I should separate developers from their software, that doesn’t change my opinion on Red Hat.
3. This problem stems from the previous ones. Using Fedora I feel like a beta-tester for future Red Hat projects and especially RHEL.

Keep in mind, that I last used Fedora on versions 37–38 and things might have changed since.

From OpenSUSE there’s also leap micro. Never used it, but maybe worth looking at.

I heard of it, but it seems more server/development focused, rather than desktop.

For instance, I could never get used to dnf, but it’s largely irrelevant on an atomic distro anyways.

100% agree, dnf is a bummer. Maybe I’ll give Kinoite a shot, as it has many differences with “vanilla” Fedora.

That’s a shame. I hope they’ll add support for more DEs in the future.

Does it support any DE other than Gnome? For the rest, looks cool!

Don’t use NixOS.

I don’t like NixOS very much. This whole governance scandal has turned me away from it even more, tbh.

Bazzite is cool, but it is part of UBlue family, which I excluded in my post. I’m not a huge fan of Fedora, no offense to anyone using it, tho!

And also proprietary, as it’s distributed under source-available license:
