• what's a lesser know distro that surprised you in a positive way?

• InstantOs is an `out of this world` distribution based on Arch

  Instant OS is a very polished Arch distribution. It features it's own window manager called InstantWM which is a tiling as well as stacking window manager. I personally like to use vanilla arch but Endeavor and InstantOS are the only Arch based distributions I've liked so far. Source: over 2 years ago

• Distro for a few years old cheap laptop

  I think Arch-based distros like arch, arcolinux, archcraft or instantos are suite for your laptop. More over you can use void or gentoo if you are experienced user. Source: over 2 years ago

• When connecting to any region from Linux, it ends up showing that you are connected to Austin, Texas.

  Hello, thank you very much for the fast response time! 1) My exact version of linux is InstantOS (arch-based https://instantos.io/). 2) When connecting to that server, I get the following IP: https://i.imgur.com/5xxaGp6.png . 3) Same ting happens when using port 443, just with a different IP, as seen in the screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/TmZ9pL2.png .

  The ideas behind instantOS (https://instantos.io) are also worth considering, for the window manager functionality. Thanks! Source: almost 3 years ago

• Is there anything else out there that can offer a similar experience to the Gnome 3 DE? I like the lack of distractions in gnome, it helps me focus on what I want to do (and with extensions I've added the missing functionality). Are there any other DEs out there that might appeal to me?

  Following the line of trying something radically different but that does help with productivity, I pressent instant os. It is based on Arch Linux (and in many ways it is literally Arch Linux) but it is ready to use after install, includes an awesome WM and interface that helps with productivity, focus and is aesthetically pleasing.
