Any distro that's based on an existing one but changes or adds very little to it. There are so many dead Ubuntu and Debian reskins

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.

I game a lot, so I need the latest drivers. So anything with a slower release schedule than Manjaro is a no go for me.
GNU Guix. Need to do an Ayahuasca ceremony sometimes and try again with a much more radiant mind.
Its a meme at this point, but I tried to install arch. Ran into display issues during install and couldn't progress. Gave up and did Ubuntu instead.
I know there's supposed to be some helper stuff out there now to make it go smoothly, but don't think I am motivated enough to retry ever.
Linux mint waaaaaaay back when it first launched.
EndeavourOS - I have tried Arch as well but EndeavourOS is just nicer out of the box. The AUR is awesome, and I generally find answers for any problem more easily than I did for any other distro.

Garuda. Looked pretty and tried it for a day or two and noped out. Went back to Manjaro before I figured out how to install Arch without the installer
Gentooo, the only reason I' use it is so I could bring up systems on old architectures. Besides that it really isn't worth it.
Anything that's not Ubuntu, because it's the "mainstream Linux", so guaranteed I'll find anything I need there.
