Unfortunately, not all of them emerged as winners for the year. + +So, what were some successful distro reveals this year? Let me highlight the best ones: + +### 1\. Vanilla OS + +[Vanilla OS][3] is an immutable distribution based on Ubuntu. + +It is not like any other Ubuntu-based distribution. You can choose to game on it, create development work environments, or just use it as a daily driver for work with good reliability. + +You can configure your system to your heart's desire, and not break the experience. + +Even though immutability can be a new concept for many, Vanilla OS presents an easy-to-use user experience while trying interesting things under-the-hood. + +### 2\. XeroLinux + +[XeroLinux][4] gives newbies a good chance to have a beautiful Arch Linux system without any hassle. + +Sure, if you have never used Linux distributions, it may not a suitable starting choice for you. However, if you know that you need some help with using Arch Linux on your system, XeroLinux lets you do that beautifully. + +Not just having a good out-of-the-box look, but also giving you the fine grain ability to customize the experience. + +![][5] + +### 3\. Ubuntu Unity + +![][6] + +Started as an unofficial Unity-powered Ubuntu remix to promote the revival of Unity7 desktop environment, [Ubuntu Unity][7] is now one of the official Ubuntu flavors. + +It shined through in 2023 where some Linux users got a taste of the Unity desktop environment (which was the default for Ubuntu years before 17.10). + +### 4\. Crystal Linux + +![][8] + +An Arch-based distribution that packs in the GNOME desktop. [Crystal Linux][9] aims to utilize the latest technologies while providing a familiar user interface. + +If you are someone who wants to experience a customized GNOME experience on top of an Arch distribution, Crystal Linux is the answer. At the time of writing, it is still in its beta phase. + +However, it includes all the essentials to help you get started for a daily driver experience (though I would recommend you not to use it in production). + +### 5\. Bazzite + +![][10] + +[Bazzite][11] is a Fedora-based Linux distribution that makes it easier for you to game on your desktop or Steam Deck. + +With the inclusion of proprietary graphics drivers and pre-installed apps like Mission Center and Discover Overlay, it makes it an interesting experience to get started. + +You can choose the set of apps to install as per your purpose (streaming, gaming, etc). + +In contrast to other Linux distributions, it comes with support for various gaming hardware like Xbox Controller, Razer devices, and more. + +![][12] + +### 6\. Fedora Asahi Remix + +Every one of us has had our eyes on the Asahi Linux project to make Linux possible on Apple Silicon. + +And, they have managed to do it, starting with [Fedora Asahi Remix][13] as their flagship distribution. If you want to use Linux on top of your latest Apple Silicon device, you can install Fedora Asahi Remix. + +It comes packed with KDE Plasma desktop, with an option to use GNOME 45, and other customization options to get you started. + +Not to forget, you get a Wayland-only experience with support for X11 apps using XWayland. + +### 7\. CachyOS + +I know right? A lot of Arch-based distros did succeed getting the attention in 2023. + +And, CachyOS is yet another one. + +Unlike others, it purely focuses on providing you a fast, optimized Linux experience, along with security improvements. CachyOS utilizes the [advanced BORE Scheduler][14] and kernels compiled with optimized instructions and LTO for giving you the best performance. + +It may not be a beginner-friendly distro, but you can get started by choosing various desktop environments, including some [window managers][15] as well. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][12] + +### Wrapping Up + +It if often the underrated distribution that manages to present something exciting and useful for Linux users. You never know, right? + +Sure, for the majority, it is safer to stick with popular Linux distributions. However, if you are looking to try something different for a change, lesser-known distros could give you a breath of fresh air. + +** 💬 _What will be your pick among the list? Do you think we missed any of your favorites?_ + +* * * + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/lesser-known-distros-2023/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-distributions/ +[2]: https://itsfoss.com/immutable-linux-distros/ +[3]: https://vanillaos.org/ +[4]: https://xerolinux.xyz/ +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/Follow-us-on-Google-News.png +[6]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/ubuntu-unity-2023.jpg +[7]: https://ubuntuunity.org/ +[8]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/crystal-onyx-dark.png +[9]: https://getcryst.al/site +[10]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/Bazzite-1.jpg +[11]: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/ +[12]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2022/08/android-chrome-192x192.png +[13]: https://asahilinux.org/fedora/ +[14]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/improving_performance +[15]: https://itsfoss.com/best-window-managers/
