When I first saw “Distros i’ve used:”, I thought there’s no way I could list that, after my prolific distro-surfing phase between 2004 to about 2014… I don’t know how many tall spools of CDs and DVDs I filled with distros, before I switched to usb, trying even more, with even less footprint to gauge it by.
… But, by just simply following the outline provided, I arrive at:
I was torn for which one distro I liked the least.
Considered something rpm based, but then realised all rpm based distros (bar two), I dislike to similar levels, and have thus not used them sufficiently to really say… and they also get lost amidst similar levels of dislike of distros I tried only ever so briefly in my distro-surfings.
Then I realised, the answer was obvious… my “liked the least”'ness has all systemd-imposing distros in a constellation, orders of distance further into “liked the least”, more than any other criteria, and all so far out there, they’re all as good as the same to my view. Rotten poison. Under an Embrace-Extend-Extinguish op. Centralising, homogenising, imposing, “the one true way” dogma. Beyond just a single point of failure, already compromised from within, agnogenic, dependency-generating, disempowering. and manymorereasons.
So that’s how I arrived at [any distro imposing] systemd as my least liked distro.
This should be a stance that makes sense when considering in context that my fave/current and longest used, are bedrock & gentoo. I like choice. And so, any distro that’s striven to not facilitate user’s freedom to choose, and even striven to make the ability to choose harder, has fallen into that same homogenising “one true way”-dogma gestalt. Obediant copy-pasta distrod can Foxtrot Oscar.
… Could have done a wayland logo there too [or GNOME3, lol]. XD But I have less experience with that. Perhaps (as in the third link of reasons^), I could have used the term “FLOS”, but then that would have been more obscure and misleading. … And [even if interpreted correctly] perhaps a mite more broad than best depicts my “liked the least”, throwing a few which I like more, under the bus.

That was fun.
uh… since when is SystemD a distro?
Fair query.

Anyhoo…
Reasoning elaboration [for my latteral-thinking lazy-cheat cop-out gestalt criteria choice] aside,
The distro I want to use in the future’s far more interesting…
