"It never ceases to amaze me that I can always find Linux distributions that I've never heard of. Given that I've been writing about Linux since 1999, you can bet that I've covered just about all of them, and yet I can always stumble upon one or two (or five) that have passed right by my attention. Some of those obscure distributions live in the shadows because they aren't really worthy of the spotlight, while others actually do deserve some attention."
"Yes, there are hundreds of distributions based on the "mother of all distributions," so what sets SpiralLinux apart, other than there being spins for Cinnamon, Xfce, GNOME, KDE Plasma, MATE, Budgie, and LXQt, as well as a builder tool to allow you to "roll your own version"? Also: Spiral Linux offers a handy tool that can keep you from spiraling if you lose a file First off, SpiralLinux is designed to be independent of the upstream Debian project."
Linux's ecosystem includes many obscure distributions that regularly surface despite extensive coverage. Some obscure distributions lack practical value, while others offer notable or interesting features worth exploring. Many of these lesser-known distributions are free to download and install. SpiralLinux is a Debian-based collection of spins offering Cinnamon, Xfce, GNOME, KDE Plasma, MATE, Budgie, and LXQt, plus a builder tool to customize releases. SpiralLinux is designed to be independent of upstream Debian and focuses on being user-friendly across desktop environments. SpiralLinux uses the Btrfs filesystem with Zstd transparent compression and integrates Snapper for snapshot management.
