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.

A robust way to make an install script on arch Linux.
Can we get a free software only version of every distro? That's what I want.
Debian is all free software if you just use the main repo and avoid non-free and non-free-firmware.

I would love to see an ostree-based (immutable) Debian for both stable and unstable.
Aside from that, my nitpicks aren't distro-oriented.
Devuan - A better installer like Calamares and stop using backports as default on ISO lol it's a pain to use Ceres from there
Siduction - They should use a bit more ISO's giving 2/3 instead of 5 options to make available more ISO's regularly, obsolete ISO that is updated yearly lmao
I would make Debian and Arch be deterministic like NixOS, but with a different language and less overhead. I really like the principle but the implementation is subpar.
NixOS
Mostly perfect in my opinion but it'd be nice if when they renamed options they didn't deprecate the old option names so old configs still worked
I still don't know the technical details between zram and zswap but I feel like fedora should switch to zswap and support hibernation out the box
