+7 Unknown Linux Distros that Emerged Winner in 2023
+======
+Distributions that caught your attention in 2023!
+Every year we have some exciting new distributions that try to do things differently, or offer something meaningful, than being “just another distro”.
+
+Similarly, in 2023, we have had distributions that got everyone's attention even if they are not as popular as some of the [best Linux distributions][1].
+
+If you have been following us, you probably know that there were a bunch of new [immutable Linux distributions][2] as well. 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.
+

+
+### 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.

+
+### 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?_
