For me it's PeppermintOS.

I started my Linux adventure a few years ago, and haven't owned a Windows PC since.

I currently use Arch on my main rig, and I wanted to install Linux on two old laptops that I found laying around in my house

I then remembered the first distro I ever used, which is PeppermintOS, and I was amazed at the latest updates they released.

They even have a mini ISO now to do a net-install with no bloat, with a Debian or Devuan base.

Sadly, I believe the founder passed away a few years ago, which is why I was really happy to see the continuation of this amazing project.

Back when I was on NixOS, my main bugbear was that the Nix package language is pretty esoteric. I have some experience in packaging on Linux, so I thought I would be able to be able to put together at least a minimal package. No such luck. You how Haskell has a reputation for being difficult and full of burritos? It was like that, but the burritos were packages.
