Which distro do you believe deserves more recognition?

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.

What does snowflakeOS do differently than nix ?
Is it perhaps like endavourOS and Arch linux ?
It is the endavourOS of NixOS.
However, making NixOS more user friendly is a lot more work than simply offering a default config. Most of the work/challenge lies in the GUI NixOS configuration editor.
Maybe it's the soulless cynic in me speaking; but the obvious snow-theme around NixOS notwithstanding, 'snowflake' MIGHT NOT be the best name for a distro aimed at 'casual users'. It's as though they're saying, 'LOL! You snowflakes can't be assed to figure out how to install nixos, but still want to reap its benefits? We got you precious snowflakes LOLOLOL'
