One of the coolest distros, ever. It’s like a mix of Alpine Linux and Slackware without dangerous firmware payloads.
There was this distro that stuffs everything of a package in one folder, instead of /usr/lib & co. What was it called again?
Of those I’be personally tried, certainly chimera linux or mageia
If being usable is a metric, Slackware
Shark Linux
2 days ago my friend found an old SATA hard drive and gave it to me to check what’s on it, and me, not having a disk station or anything, and against all better judgment, I just swapped the disk in my laptop for my friend’s, and instead of my laptop being fried it turned out the disk was running something called Crunchbang Linux
Limiting to those I have used daily and treated as Linux (used the terminal for example) probably Maemo. I used to carry my Nokia Internet Tablet 770, and then my N800 everywhere with me.
Maemo is also an ancestor of both Tizen and Sailfish OS
I see no one has mentioned Bedrock Linux yet. Not sure though how others would rate its ‘obscurity’ though. It’s definitely a standout among distros.
No one mentioned Bunsenlabs or Crunchbang Linux here, but they aren’t really that obscure.
Archbang maybe more?
BOSS.
SLiTaz
It’s an obscure originally live usage oriented distro that you could also install. It was the first *Nix I ever used.
Oh jeez. I forgot about that. I had that running on my DS back in the day from a GBA flashcart with a big-ass CompactFlash card sticking out the bottom. Good times.
