We all know about Debian, Fedora and Arch but what about the lesser known ones that are built from the ground up?

Less popular distros that I use are NixOS and FreeBSD. I haven't tried Gentoo yet, but I want to.

I want to buy a Framework laptop later this year. FreeBSD with KDE Plasma will be installed first, I might switch to Gentoo later, especially if work on the GNU Hurd kernel progresses far enough.
