Crunchbang
Damn Small
Hannah Montana
Ubuntu Satanic Edition
CinnArch/Antergos (lives on as EndeavourOS)..

I think that one’s claim to fame comes from being mentioned in one of Bryan Lunduke’s presentations.

Dell XPS 13/9310, i5-1135G7/16GB, KDE Neon
XPG Xenia 15, i7-9750H/16GB & GTX1660ti, KDE Neon
Acer Swift Go 14, i5-1335U/16GB, KDE Neon (and Win 11 for maintenance)

Surprised PearOS wasn’t mentioned (Linux based apple iOS clone)
GUI was aesthetically pleasing, well arranged and intuitive even for children…
until a cease and desist was issued.

Looks like someone else has revived it:

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created IT- AE
