Which Linux Distro do you find to be the most fun to use? I'm looking for something to play with.

Depends on your definition of "fun". Arch is a fun one, Alpine if you want super light, ArchCraft for some eye candy, the list goes on. :)

vanilla arch. It can have/be anything, but it's all up to you to build. However, I found NixOS to be the places where I stay.

I'm going to look up ArchCraft. I've not used Arch distros much, but it would be good to fool around with one. You know....increase the skills, hahaha

ArchCraft is a very “pretty” distro of Arch with built in themes and stuff. But installing Arch itself is really fun because you define every thing you want on your system!

Looks like I have a few votes for Arch distros.
You're not talking about Vanilla OS are you.... or are you?

If you want to try something different, rather than the standard yum, rpm & deb, package manager, I always had fun with PuppyLinux (its small and cute
though they've migrated away from their commitment to staying under 100MB over the years)

What is "fun to use" to you? Some of the recommendations may be "fun to install" which could be not the same thing.

sorry for the late response. No, nixos is a whole different ball game. It is immutable like vanilla, but it's all based on a config file so it's not like normal Linux. Once setup tho, that file can recreate your whole os.
