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.

11/01 morning Update: Arch with 3 votes. NixOS with 2 votes, Alpine, Void, Kinoite, Open Suse each with 1 vote.
I would probably want a cheater install of Arch, that way it may be less work.
I have been interested in Kinoite in the past. I have also been interested in Suse because of their admin application Yast(?)
Isn't Alpine downstream from Arch? That might count as another vote for Arch.. : ^ )
Nah, Alpine is independent. It's one of the more popular non-GNU/Linux distros.
