These two Linux distributions have not yet reached stability, but I have high hopes for them in 2026.

There’s no doubt that 2026 will bring plenty of new Linux releases, with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS likely being the most anticipated, set to arrive at the end of April. But this article isn’t about the usual names that tend to dominate the conversation year after year.

Instead, I want to focus on two relatively new projects that left a strong impression on me in 2025. What sets them apart is their originality: they aren’t built on top of existing distributions, and they take genuinely fresh approaches to how a Linux system can be designed and function.

And no, this isn’t about the wave of immutability that defined much of 2025, nor about distributions overloaded with tools in an attempt to be everything to everyone.

    I specified already, people see the instances you post from and builds recognition for that due to the volume with which i post. So I rotate around which ones I post from

    when you use these accounts to post to huge instances like lemmy.world (which you do frequently)

    I haven’t posted to a .world comm (with the exception of linux_gaming) since the JL fallout and have moved quite a few of the comms I created there off it and am planning to move some of the larger ones I mod off there

    although I’m not convinced it’s really a problem.

    It actually did happen to me, and they were spouting right-winger Nazi bullshit sooo yea. Turned out it was UM (unsurprisingly) lmao

    And btw some of those accounts in your screenshot are the imposter accounts like Lonestar, az.social and pawn

    But some of the others I don’t post from much if at all and just make comms with them

      Most users do not pay attention to which instance someone is on, only a vocal minority seem to care. Even less will actually join an instance from just seeing it, as they’re likely already on an instance in the first place.

      So once again, it just makes it impossible for people to curate their feeds. It makes you look like a spam bot, especially with how rapidly you repost things. And the amount of accounts with the same name really make you look like a spam operation.

      It does far more harm than good in my opinion, and I actively avoid upvoting any of your posts because of that. If you just created the placeholder accounts and didn’t post with them, I wouldn’t feel this way.

      You seriously don’t see how crazy the screenshots above look?
